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...

In order to characterise the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviour of the welded components used in offshore wind turbine monopiles, a number of tests have been performed on...

The fact that residual stresses are redistributed or relaxed during operations shows the importance of understanding residual stress after a particular period. Elastic shakedown...

We request two days on Engin-X to carry out commissioning tests on a pair of new piston-cylinder cells and their associated hydraulic press. Although intended primarily for use...

We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the development of elastic strains in geologically important minerals as a function of uniaxial load. We wish to perform...

This proposal aims (1) to characterize the residual stress in Titanium alloys prepared by direct metal laser sintering, an additive layer manufacturing process; (2) to correlate...

We request 4 days of beamtime on ENGIN-X to measure the influence of relative grain size on stress partitioning between the constituent phases in two phase polycrystalline...

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...

There is a great interest in the last years in the study of Mg-Y-Zn alloys containing LPSO phases. This kind of alloys behaves as a metal matrix composite where the LPSO phase...

Fibre Laser Beam Welding (FLBW) is a relatively new technology that has many advantages over other welding techniques. An understanding of the residual stress and...

In our research programme the overall goal is to explore and characterise the multiscale deformation in a high-strength ferritic power plant steel (P91/P92). A micromechanical...

Deformation-induced martensite formation is a thermo-mechanical phenomenon whereby the transformation of the austenite phase into martensite occurs above the martensite start...

The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of Aluminium (Al) on deformation mechanisms in Titanium (Ti) alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Titanium...

In welded joints subjected to multiaxial fatigue, it is of interest to determine both the time to crack initiation and propagation to understand what controls fatigue life of...

Fibre Laser Beam Welding (FLBW) is a relatively new technology that has many advantages over other welding techniques. An understanding of the residual stress and...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0007

Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic...

Graphite bricks are both the moderator and structural components at the heart of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) cores. Internal stress arises from the moderation role of...

As additive manufacturing (AM) is moving into the production of more heavily loaded end-use components, particularly within the aerospace sector, improved understanding of the...

A full-sized section of 304-stainless steel pipe with a non-stress relieved girth-butt weld has been obtained from a Pressurised Water Reactor. This project will accurately map...
