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... -
Microstrain evolution of multilayered Ti/X (X=Zr, Nb) composites under the ef...
The mechanical properties of multilayered metallic composites are determined by strain/stress partitioning between the constituent metals. However, the effect of strain on the... -
Stress-assisted Martensite Influence of martensite initiation mode on varia...
The aim of the present proposal is to determine the influence of the different martensite transformation regimes (either stress-assisted or strain-induced) on the proceeding... -
Influence of rafted microstructures on the in-situ strain response of single ...
The proposed experiment concerns the role of microstructure on the high temperature deformation behaviour of single crystal Ni-base superalloys. This class of material is of... -
Hysteresis in the deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been... -
Determination of structure of stress-induced martensite in NiTi shape memory ...
The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic... -
Residual Stress Measurement on Welded Stainless Steel 304 by Neutron Diffraction
Welding-induced distortions and residual stresses of structural components can result in significant increase in manufacturing costs and then limit the development of innovative... -
Intergranular strain development during biaxial loading
The experiment will measure the development of Type II intergranular strains in 316 stainless steel as a function of applied stress for stress states ranging from uniaxial to...
