The Seventh European Conference on Residual Stresses (ECRS7), was held in Berlin, Germany, on the 13-15th September 2006. These rapidly published proceedings contain the oral and poster contributions which were presented at the conference. They have been grouped into topic areas covering: measurement techniques, generation of residual stresses by manufacturing, processing of materials, modelling and computation of residual stresses, residual stresses in thin layers, residual stresses in multiphase materials, micro and intergranular residual stresses, and residual stresses and phase transformation. Together, the contributions present an up-to-the-minute documentation of the recent progress made in the field of residual stress determination and modelling.
