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,... -
Internal stresses in superconducting bulk magnets studied by in situ neutron ...
Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact... -
Determination of the diffraction elastic constants of Inconel 718 at high tem...
Within our project we are studying the evolution of stresses in Ni-base superalloy IN718 during annealing heat treatments. This is done by performing in-situ neutron diffraction... -
In situ crystalline CTE measurements of nuclear graphite as a function of loa...
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... -
Microstrain evolution of multilayered Ti/X (X=Zr, Nb) composites under the ef...
The mechanical properties of multilayered metallic composites are determined by strain/stress partitioning between the constituent metals. However, the effect of strain on the...
