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...

Tentative approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0015

The experiment involves the characterisation of a multi-material fiducial marker (MMFM) with respect to scattering intensities as a function of marker position. If this...

The Contour method is a powerful residual stress measurement method, that is still under development. A limitation of the technique is that the component must be cut into two...

Suspension and solution precursor (SSP) spraying is an emerging thermal spraying technology which utilises liquid feedstock containing sub-micrometre and nanoparticles. Alumina...

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...

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...

Duplex stainless steels have a microstructure composed of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. This microstructure confers them high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance....

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of austenitic stainless steels (ASS) has been shown to increase with cold work (CW). However, the mechanism by which CW and the subsequent...

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...

The hydrogen embrittlement mechanism is one of long-term research topics of ultrahigh strength steels involving the microstructure optimization control. It is valuable to...

This experiment aims to obtain experimental data to validate crystal plasticity modelling of a metal with a complex, anisotropic, crystal structure. We propose to measure the...
