Mechanical Stress Evaluation by Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation VII

Edited by: Thomas Holden, Ondrej Muránsky and Cory J. Hamelin

Online since: February 2014

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The collection shows the importance of neutron and synchrotron radiation in the evaluation of mechanical stresses. It gathers the current knowledge from those concerned with the mechanical stress evaluation of materials and components using neutron and synchrotron radiation. It also gives an interesting "snap-shot" of progress in the field. The wide array contributions focus on the following key topics: Stress evaluation using neutrons, synchrotron radiation and X-rays; Development of measurement methods and instrumentation; Material processing and residual stresses; The influence of residual stresses on the physical and mechanical properties of materials and components; Measurement and assessment of residual micro-stresses and intergranular stresses; Residual strains and stresses in complex materials (e.g. multi-phase and biomaterials); Industrial applications of residual stress analysis using neutrons, synchrotron radiation and X-rays; and Complementary techniques for residual stress measurements.
