Inter-phase load partitioning in a directionally-solidified Cr-Cr3Si eutectic
In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high... -
Residual stress characterization of laser formed aluminium plates using neutr...
Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic... -
In situ loading of Zr-2.5Nb-O at cryogenic temperatures
The proposed experiment will study the deformation of a two phase Zr-2.5Nb alloy at cryogenic temperatures. It forms part of our ongoing long-term project to understand the... -
Deformation and Temperature induced martensite transformation in austenitic s...
Deformation-induced martensite formation is a thermo-mechanical phenomenon whereby the transformation of the austenite phase into martensite occurs above the martensite start... -
Influence of compressive stress and electric field on the shape memory effect...
The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during...
