Temperature dependence of the coercive stress in rhombohedral PZT ceramics
The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,... -
In-situ internal strain measurements in textured austenitic steel under strai...
Internal strains and dislocation microstructures can dramatically affect the mechanical performances of metallic alloys. Then deformation mechanisms and physical properties must... -
The effect of aluminium on the deformation mechanisms in titanium alloys
The aim of this experiment is to measure the intergranular strain evolution in two types of single phase titanium alloys. While commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is known to... -
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... -
Exploration of Elastic Anisotropy in Nanolaminate MAX Phases
MAX phases such as Ti3SiC2 have an exciting combination of properties however no single crystals are available to enable measurement of their intrinsic (single crystal - SC)... -
Martensite Ductility Improvement Mechanism of High Strength Multilayered Aust...
Though the single phase martensite of low alloy steel usually has a total elongation less than 5% and cannot directly apply to the commercial steel sheets, the multilayered...
