Evaluating the effect of cyclic plasticity on creep using a novel crystal pla...
In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep... -
Characterisation of Quenching- and Machining-Induced Residual Stresses in Al ...
The key objectives of this experiment are to obtain residual stress to provide an understanding of the evolution of residual stress as a result of quenching and machining.... -
Development of Residual Stress during Flow Forming of Stainless Steel Type 15...
Flow forming is a cold forming process used for the production of dimensionally accurate near net shaped hollow components used in various fields of industry. Due to the nature... -
Optimizing Residual Stresses in Wind Turbine for increased lifespan
Fatigue is a major concern in the lifetime of wind turbine components and is one of the most important design parameters in wind power from a structural point of view. The... -
High resolution neutron strain tomography
This proposal aims to further develop neutron strain tomography (NST) into a general tool for three-dimensional strain mapping at the microscale. This is the final stage in the... -
Compression-induced martensitic transformations in Ni2MnGa ferromagnetic shap...
The Heusler alloys based on Ni2MnGa are considered as promising new multifunctional material showing magnetic shape memory effect related to the giant magnetic field induced... -
Quantification of Residual Stresses in Ferritic Steels using Low-Transformati...
F22 steel is widely used in subsea oil transfer components to control flow and defend against well pressure increases. As easily attainable oil deposits have reduced, it is... -
ND on stressed Austempered Ductile Iron
We propose to investigate the deformation states of two different grades of austempered ductile irons (ADIs) pre-strained through tensile tests. ADIs microstructures consist of... -
Damage Tolerance of the CrMnFeCoNi High-Entropy Alloy at Cryogenic Temperatures
The mechanical properties required for metallic materials in most structural applications rarely can be achieved in pure metals and are generally attained through the addition... -
Residual stress characterisation of machining on a wire arc additively manufa...
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a rapid and cost effective approach that is suited to the production of large components. Machining of these parts is difficult due to... -
In situ neutron diffraction study of residual strain evolution around a non-u...
This project focuses on the development of new numerical modelling techniques for fatigue crack growth and in particular, non-uniform crack front evolution and crack growth...
