High Resolution Neutron Bragg Imaging of Gilsocarbon Graphite for the Investi...
Quasi-brittle materials can accommodate a limited permanent deformation before fracture, which improves their toughness. Examples include concrete, graphite and ceramic... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of Deformation in Coarse-Grained Cast Alpha-Uranium
This experiment aims to obtain experimental data to validate crystal plasticity modelling of a metal with a complex, anisotropic, crystal structure. We propose to measure the... -
In Situ Study of Deformation and Fracture of Nuclear Graphite at High Tempera...
The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of operating Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore... -
Internal stresses in superconducting bulk magnets studied by in situ neutron ...
Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact... -
In-situ Study of Lithium Metal Penetration in Solid State Inorganic Electrolytes
All-solid-state Li-metal batteries aim for higher energy density and better safety than conventional Li-ion batteries due to their inflammable inorganic electrolytes and lithium... -

All-solid-state Li-metal batteries aim for higher energy density and better safety than conventional Li-ion batteries due to their inflammable inorganic electrolytes and lithium... -
The effect of the onset of plastic deformation on texture in cast alpha-uranium.
Crystal plasticity numerical methods are being used increasingly to model the initiation and propagation of fracture in metals. These models can be more critically evaluated... -
The Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of Nuclear Gra...
The material to be studied is nuclear graphite used in the core of the Gas-cooled Reactors in the UK. It is a non-replaceable component and therefore life-limiting. During... -
Mapping the elastic strain field around a fatigue crack using Bragg edge mapping
The effects of notches on the fatigue life of components have long been investigated and methods a proposed that semi-empirically account for the notch. They are concentrated on... -

Commissioning Experiment: Increased high resolution capabilities through the ...
A fibre-optics taper is a device consisting in a bundle of tapering fibre optics able to transport the light from one of its end and transmit it very efficiently and enlarged to... -
In Situ Study of Damage and Fracture of Nuclear Graphite at Elevated Temperature
The materials of interest include some nuclear graphite used in the core of current operating UK reactors and also some new designs for next generation of reactors worldwide. In...
