Residual stresses in an aircraft manhole structure with a bonded crack retarder
Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for improving the damage tolerance of structures. They are of particular interest in aerospace applications, where they offer the... -
In-situ high resolution strain mapping under tension and torsional loading us...
It is proposed to use ENGIN-X for proof-of-concept investigations of BCC Fe (possibly also hex. Mg and FCC Al) alloys under multi axial loading, while simultaneously acquiring... -
The effect of aluminium on the deformation mechanisms in titanium alloys
The aim of this experiment is to measure the intergranular strain evolution in two types of single phase titanium alloys. While commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is known to... -
In-situ internal strain measurements in textured austenitic steel under strai...
Internal strains and dislocation microstructures can dramatically affect the mechanical performances of metallic alloys. Then deformation mechanisms and physical properties must... -
Evaluation of lattice strains in porous graphite
Internal stresses and strains are created in the graphite over time as a consequence of exposure to thermal gradients, structural loads and fast neutron irradiation. However,... -
Stresses in a Dissimilar Metal Weld Pipe Butt Weld
Stress corrosion cracking is an important degradation mechanism that is threatening the structural integrity of pressurised water reactors throughout the world. AREVA has... -
Defining workshop practices in high-quality 1st century AD Roman bronze artef...
Two intact first century AD Romano-British tombs containing rich assemblages of grave offerings were excavated in 2007 by Oxford Archaeology near a section of the A2 route in... -
Analysis of the local residual stress field in gas metal arc welds treated us...
Localised high-pressure rolling of welded joints in structural materials is currently being investigated as an industrially relevant means of eliminating harmful residual... -
The effect of Sn and Oxygen on the deformation mechanisms in Zirconium
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Sn and Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Both alloying elements... -
Mapping the evolution of strains/stresses across the interface between dissim...
The research is to study the fundamental issues and the key factors in controlling the interfacial bonding of dissimilar metallic alloys made by spraying deposition; and the... -
Temperature dependence of the coercive stress in rhombohedral PZT ceramics
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,... -
Investigation of residual stresses in a stainless steel-titanium tube bimetal...
Stainless steel-titanium tube bimetallic adapters are being considered for use in superconducting radiofrequency cavities of the future International Linear Collider using...
