The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,...

The proposed experiment involves measurement of the structural changes during the ferroelectric rhombohedral to antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase transformation in PZT...

MAX phases such as Ti3SiC2 have an exciting combination of properties however no single crystals are available to enable measurement of their intrinsic (single crystal - SC)...

Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can exhibit...

Understanding thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) in superalloys has become more and more important due to the demand of increasing operation temperature of gas turbines to increase...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially...

The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic...

In the current proposal we propose to test Zr-2.5Nb samples cut at a range of angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90°) in the RD-TD plane in in-situ compression at room temperature....

The experiment will measure the development of Type II intergranular strains in 316 stainless steel as a function of applied stress for stress states ranging from uniaxial to...
