The effect of unsaturation on the shear dependence of cationic lamellar phase...
Products such as fabric and hair conditioners are commonly in the form of di-alkyl chain cationic lamellar phase dispersion. The effects of shear on such lamellar phase... -
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... -
SANS experiments on phase separation in Fe-Cr based alloys
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation.... -
Force transfer mapping in cemented granular materials under applied boundary ...
The mechanical behaviour of porous granular rocks is highly complex due to the fact that they exhibit a multiscale interaction of three different phases: grains, cement and... -
Neutron diffraction analysis of a failed 1400s wrought iron tie rod from Mila...
We propose to deeply investigate one metallic (iron based) failed tie-rod sample, from Duomo di Milano (Italy). The tie-rod, a typical iron strengthening element in gothic... -
Deformation and Degradation Behavior of Lamellar TiAl Alloys during Creep Tests
The recently developed TiAl intermetallics-based alloys are promising candidate materials for high temperature applications in gas turbines. However, the mechanism of the creep... -
Exploring the potential of energy-dependent neutron imaging
We would like to explore the potential of energy-dependent neutron imaging, in view of the future Bragg edge transmission analysis options on IMAT and LARMOR. The experiments... -
High-resolution Neutron Strain Tomography
Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this... -
The effect of additive manufacturing growth direction on the thermomechanical...
Despite the tremendous promise of selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing technique, it is particularly challenging to apply it to the hard-to-weld, high...
