Optimizing Residual Stresses in Wind Turbine for increased lifespan
Fatigue is a major concern in the lifetime of wind turbine components and is one of the most important design parameters in wind power from a structural point of view. The... -
Deformation Studies of Mg-PSZ under Compressive and Tensile Loading
Zirconia is a brittle ceramic whose usefulness is negated by phase transformations which are accompanied by strains and the consequent stresses lead to cracking. The addition of... -
Measurement of Mechanically Induced Residual Stress Field on Conventional Fra...
This project focuses on the development of new numerical modelling techniques for fatiguecrack growth and in particular, non-uniform crack front evolution and crack growth... -
In-situ Observation of Strain Evolution of Hydrogen Pre-charge Super Duplex S...
Mechanical properties of metals can be largely degraded by the present of solute hydrogen, and this phenomenon is referred as hydrogen embrittlement. This phenomenon has been... -
Eliminating Residual Stress in Stainless Steel Welded Joints using Transforma...
In the course of 2.5 years research in Cambridge, we have developed for the first time a tough, low-carbon martensitic stainless steel weld metal (CamAlloy 4) which can be used... -
Effect of Build Strategies on the Development of Residual Stresses in Laser M...
Laser metal deposition (LMD) is a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process used to produce near-net shaped components in the aerospace industry, with complex geometries... -
Residual Stress Measurement by Neutron Diffraction on Aluminium Matrix Compos...
Aluminium Matrix Composite (AMC) material systems offer unique combination of material and mechanical properties as compared to conventional monolithic materials with... -
The Origin of Anelastic Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can... -
Reduced Residual Stresses In Multipass Welds Using Low Transformation Tempera...
The aim of this experiment is to characterise the residual stresses that evolve as a multiple pass weld is built up, while exploiting transformation plasticity due to specially... -
Characterisation of Residual Stress Evolution due to Heat Treatment in Hot Ro...
An EPSRC funded project has commenced in order to study the residual stress distribution of hot rolled Ti-6Al-4V alloy plate and the evolution of such stresses induced by heat... -
Using residual stress relaxation to study the multiaxial creep constitutive p...
When metals are placed under load at high temperature they usually deform over time; a process known as creep. In this experiment we will look at the creep behaviour of a type... -
Residual Stresses in Tekken Weld Specimen
Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0017 -
Investigation of shake-down effects on residual stress redistribution in ship...
The fact that residual stresses are redistributed or relaxed during operations shows the importance of understanding residual stress after a particular period. Elastic shakedown... -
The effect of additive manufacturing growth direction on the thermomechanical...
Despite the tremendous promise of selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing technique, it is particularly challenging to apply it to the hard-to-weld, high...
