A feasibility study of creep stress relaxation with elastic follow up
Creep in polycrystalline engineering alloys occurs differently along different crystalline orientations. This is because external loading distributes lattice strains... -
Ferroelectric-antiferroelectric phase transformation behaviour in bismuth-mod...
The proposed experiment involves measurement of the structural changes during the ferroelectric rhombohedral to antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase transformation in PZT... -
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... -
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... -
The effect of strain-path on the anisotropy of a dual phase steel
Steels often have anisotropic mechanical properties due to texture or internal stress generated by deformation. Recently it has become desirable to control this anisotropy, to... -
The influence of temperature on the nature martensitic transformation: A neut...
This experiment aims to study the strain induced transformation mechanism at temperatures between room temperature and low temperatures, and at extremely low temperatures. These...
