Zirconia is a brittle ceramic whose usefulness is negated by phase transformations which are accompanied by strains and the consequent stresses lead to cracking. The addition of...

Second generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) tapes are one of the most rapidly developing branches of superconducting materials. The GdBaCuO tapes are more...

The British Museum holds a wide collection of prehistoric utensils spanning hundreds of years, 1000 - 600 BC, corresponding to the transition between the Late Bronze Age and the...

To facilitate Remote Maintenance (RM) of demonstration fusion plant, the RM teams at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) utilise lasers to join EUROFER97 components....

Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (FRCMCs) have numerous applications, such as engine components, rocket re-entry nozzles and military vehicles due to their light...

The hydrogen embrittlement mechanism is one of long-term research topics of ultrahigh strength steels involving the microstructure optimization control. It is valuable to...

The present proposal leans on the study of the elastoviscoplastic behavior of a polycrystalline Co by neutron diffraction (ENGIN-X) in line with theoretical investigations : 4...

To establish the spatial variation of texture in large Copper Bolts from the hulls of Royal Navy Warships of the Napoleonic War Era, using Engin-X. To compare the distribution...

Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact...

Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a rapidly developing field which produces parts in a layer wise fashion by selectively melting and solidifying to build a structure...

This project focuses on the development of new numerical modelling techniques for fatiguecrack growth and in particular, non-uniform crack front evolution and crack growth...

In this experiment, we aim to clarify how different deformation mechanisms are best incorporated in a so-called elasto-plastic self-consistent model. The model is developed to...

Stationary-shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining technique which particularly attractive for alloys which are difficult to join via...

After the successful strain measurements at ENGING-X of 3D-printed and cold-rolled Ti-6Al-4V parts, which have shown that this mechanical treatment can eliminate residual stress...

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is an advanced manufacturing process capable of introducing compressive residual stress within a component. Cracks in aeronautical structures can grow...

In June 1813, several ships from a combined fleet that unsuccessfully tried to liberate Tarragona from Napoleonic forces ran aground in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia coast, Spain)....

We aim at modelling the effect of local phase-specific micro residual stresses on the residual stress evaluation for multiphase materials and plan to study the effect of local...

Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with a moderate cost. As such, it is a very promising material for e.g....

Where a material can plastically deform by more than one mechanism, the relative extent to which the various mechanisms operate often depends on the strain rate. Most metals...

Currently on IMAT time of flight neutron spectroscopy of a polycrystalline material shows a blurred Bragg edge defining the component of strain in the direction of the neutron....
