Pre-Strain Effects on Intergranular Stresses and Subsequent Deformation
The proposal aims to examine how introducing 8% plastic strain in 316H steel through precompression, influences the intergranular strains in the material when loaded parallel... -
Fabrication Residual Stresses in Boiler Bifurcations
Recently, a number of creep cracks have been found in complex pipe to pipe intersections, referred to as bifurcations in the boilers of the UK¿s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors... -
Lattice strain evolution during uniaxial tension of an engineering steel
In our research program the overall goal is to explore residual stress effects on fracture of engineering steels at high temperatures. Towards this goal, we need to understand... -
Intergranular stress generation during high temperature creep-fatigue loading
Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,... -
Continue improving reliability of residual stress characterization in dissimi...
The proposed experiment is the final experimental step for validating the measurement methods and analytical models developed based on the systematic experimental studies... -
Lattice strain evolution during high temperature deformation of an engineerin...
In our research programme the overall goal is to explore how residual stress/strain influences the deformation and fracture behaviour of engineering steels at high temperatures....
