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...

The detection of residual stresses in ancient metals can allow researchers to understand method of manufacture, and non-destructive neutron diffraction offers access to museum...

We aim to use the ENGIN-X facility to measure the residual field within an industrial scale (1 x 0.8 x 0.3 m), direct chill (DC) cast slab of a high strength, creep resistant...

Recent work on bonded crack retarders for aerospace structures has demonstrated how they offer advantages in improvement in fatigue life. We have previously studied the residual...

We propose to analyse 23 Early Medieval (ca. 6th century AD) iron knives and swords from the cemetery site at Watchfield, Oxon. The objects are in the care of Oxfordshire County...

UK power plants are following the worldwide trends in the power generating industry, in line with demands for increases in the efficiency of existing power plants and for...

The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during...

Welding-induced distortions and residual stresses of structural components can result in significant increase in manufacturing costs and then limit the development of innovative...

We request 5 days of beamtime on ENGIN-X to continue our investigation into the influence of relative grain size on stress partitioning between the constituent phases in two...

In the current proposal we propose to test Zr-2.5Nb samples cut at a range of angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90°) in the RD-TD plane in in-situ compression at room temperature....

This proposal forms part of our larger study into the mechanics of nickel based alloys. In particular we are attempting to correlate the intergranular stress development in...

Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structuralmaterial for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0017

Titanium and its alloys have increasingly become a material of choice in high performance structures due to superior corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio for...

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...

The ITER fusion reactor features first wall panels, facing the fusion plasma, that comprise Be tiles, bonded to a CuCrZr heat sink. During bonding of these materials, residual...

Neutron tomography and neutron diffraction are ideal to study technical and art-historical aspects of Renaisaance bronze casting in a complety non-destructive way. A series of...

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...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a natural compound (Ca10 (PO4)6(OH) 2) found in human bone and clinical research has shown that HA coated orthopaedic implants improve the ingrowth and...
