The hole-drilling by ap- plying the rosette strain gauge is one of the most commonly used methods for measuring residual stress and besides, the use of digital image correlation (DIC) method is expanding because of its advantages in measur- ing residual stress. So, these two methods have been studied by researchers. In this study, the results of resid- ual stress measurements on composite plate by the hole-drilling and DIC methods are compared, but employ- ing the Mohr’s circle in this comparison as an innovation is discussed to understand better this issue. Also, considering that the other researchers have usually paid attention to measure the residual stress immediately just after drilling in the hole-drilling method using the strain gauge. Thus, the effect of elapsed time on the residual stress measurement is investigated in the results application. In both of these methods, the residual stress is calculated based on the principles of calibration coefficient measurement and the finite element method (FEM). 1. Introduction Due to the positive and negative effects of the residual stresses on structures and components, computing and studying them in different ways have always been of interest to researchers [1–3]. In the struc- tures with different materials, the composite parts because of their ex- tensive applications, has been studied by researchers [4–6], as such, research into the residual stress in these materials has also expanded [7–11] even in micro scale [12–15]. Residual stresses are calculated using destructive, semi-destructive and non-destructive methods [16]. The hole-drilling as a semi-destructive method and the digital image correlation (DIC) as a semi-destructive or a non-destructive method in the measurement of residual stresses repeatedly have been used by re- searchers [17–23]. Babaeeian and Mohammadimehr [7] considering different times after hole drilling, investigated the residual stress on the composite plate around the hole with different diameters using DIC method based on the point-wise local least-squares fitting tech- nique(PLS). The results showed that the calculated residual stresses and their direction changes over time and these changes are considerable. Corresponding author.

[24] used the FIB (Focused Ion Beam) -DIC ring-core milling method to measure the residual stresses in a plastically bent titanium alloy bar, so that the profiles of the results are very similar to the expected profile for a bent bar. Duohua et al. [25] measured the initial residual stresses in a glass/polyester pultruded thick composite profile by using incremental hole drilling, DIC and finite element meth- ods and by minimizing least-squares difference between experimental and numerical strains relaxation after drilling, so that a maximum of 20 percent difference was found in the estimated stresses for uniform and non-uniform initial stress states. Brynk et al. [26] considered the 3D DIC process during drilling with algorithm for inverse method cal- culation and also FLM with the purpose of estimating the residual stress around hole so that the effects of drilling on results is expressed cause the difference in expected and obtained stress values. Vasylevskyi et al. [27] employed the electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) to measure displacements caused by the localized stress relief associated with blind hole drilling in various locations in 3D woven composites and observed that the surface displacements around the hole are sensi- tive to the hole location because of the difference in thermal expansion https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optlaseng.2020.106355 Received 22 June 2020; Received in revised form 11 August 2020; Accepted 24 August 2020 0143-8166/© 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
