Unstressed lattice parameter studies for weld residual stress determination
This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such... -
Probing the magnetic interface in Bi2Se3/CoFeB bilayers by polarized neutron ...
Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic... -
High Temperature Micromechanics Ni-based Superalloys: Creep, Stress Relaxatio...
In this study, in-situ high-temperature loading investigations will be performed to characterise the micromechanics of a high strength alloy 720Li, during stress relaxation in... -
Measurement of Residual Strains/Stresses in Welded Linepipes for Deep-sea Oil...
The demand for deep-sea oil and gas supply is increasing due to the higher demand on energy and security of energy supply. The pipelines for transporting oil and gas are... -
In-Situ Neutron Diffraction Study of Plastic Deformation and Crack-Growth Mec...
Our continuous proposal work will focus mainly on the influence of dislocation dominated deformation modes on fatigue-crack-growth in order to fully complete our proposed... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,...
