In-situ tension and compression tests in plane strain
This proposal forms part of our larger study into the mechanics of nickel based alloys. In particular we are attempting to correlate the intergranular stress development in... -
In situ study of stainless steel martensitic transformation at cryogenic temp...
The mechanical properties of of austenitic stainless steels are thought to be improved by the phenomenon of deformation-induced martensitic transformation, which acts to... -
Texture and 3D strain pole figure measurement of engineering components by GEM
The proposed experiment is to measure texture and strain tensor for specimens made by Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) and Linear Friction Welding (LFW) techniques. The... -
SANS investigation of cross-linking in irradiated greases
Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in... -
Intergranular strain development during biaxial loading
The experiment will measure the development of Type II intergranular strains in 316 stainless steel as a function of applied stress for stress states ranging from uniaxial to... -
Self assembly of thermoresponsive gels
Thermoresponsive gels are widely used for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. They consist of a thermoresponsive polymer that self-assembles in a 3D network when... -
Interplay between polarization, strain and defect-pairs in Fe-doped SrMnO3-δ
Defect chemistry, strain, and structural, magnetic and electronic degrees of freedom constitute a rich space for the design of functional properties in transition metal oxides.... -
A system dynamics model of Hockey's motivation control theory of fatigue
Hockey’s motivation control theory of fatigue is formalised and explored in this system dynamics model to investigate fatigue development and ways to cope with it. The model... -
Data from Uniaxial Compression testing and validation scripts for Cauchy stre...
Anatomically realistic organ replicas or phantoms allow for accurate studies and reproducible research. To recreate a human kidney, mimicry of the viscoelastic properties of the... -

Ferroelectricity promoted by cation/anion divacancies in SrMnO3
We investigate the effect of polar Sr-O vacancy pairs on the electric polarization of SrMnO3 (SMO) thin films using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This is...
