Inter-phase load partitioning in a directionally-solidified Cr-Cr3Si eutectic
In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high... -
CHARACTERISATION OF INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT EFFECTS ON RESIDUAL STRESS IN FR...
This experiment has important applications in the power generation industry, and is a continuation of two experiments completed at the ILL where we have characterised the... -
Quantifying the role of stresses in the cracking of repair welds in nickel su...
Repair welding of nickel superalloys is being investigated at Cranfield University to determine repair techniques which minimise liquation and post-weld heat treatment cracking... -
In situ loading of Zr-2.5Nb-O at cryogenic temperatures
The proposed experiment will study the deformation of a two phase Zr-2.5Nb alloy at cryogenic temperatures. It forms part of our ongoing long-term project to understand the... -
Influence of compressive stress and electric field on the shape memory effect...
The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during...
