Joining structures using threaded connections remains one of the most popular assembly methods. However, the unintentional disassembly, because of operational loads, of these...

Oxide dispersion-strengthened steels are still being regarded as suitable choices for components in advanced nuclear power plants. It is important, then, to study how permanent...

It is proposed to use ENGIN-X for proof-of-concept investigations of BCC Fe (possibly also hex. Mg and FCC Al) alloys under multi axial loading, while simultaneously acquiring...

Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for improving the damage tolerance of structures. They are of particular interest in aerospace applications, where they offer the...

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is an advanced manufacturing process capable of introducing compressive residual stress within a component. Cracks in aeronautical structures can grow...

This proposal follows on from our successful experiment on ENGIN-X lin 2006, where we measured the development of strains in the aluminium and silicon phases of a common casting...

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

Neutron transmission has been able to produce 2D residual strain maps around cold expanded holes with high resolution, but limited to measurement of the axial strain direction....

Plasma-facing materials (PFM) and components (PFC) are one of the main likely showstoppers for commercial fusion reactors and still unsolved key components for future fusion...
