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,... -
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... -
Deformation and Temperature induced martensite transformation in austenitic s...
Deformation-induced martensite formation is a thermo-mechanical phenomenon whereby the transformation of the austenite phase into martensite occurs above the martensite start...
