For more than 10 years, time-of-flight detectors at pulsed neutron sources have been capable of providing high-resolution images of strain fields through Bragg-edge analysis [1]. With a geometry akin to a traditional radiograph, these images represent a projection of the full 3D tensor strain distribution to a scalar field. This poses a rich tomography problem based on a generalised version...
Additive manufacturing is an exciting new approach to produce components that are not manufacturable using traditional methods. Coupled with its short CAD-to-product time, this method had been gaining significant attention. In particular, the application of Selected Laser Melting, which can process metals, is gaining popularity in application on aerospace components. Due to the numerous rapid...
Intermetallic alloys such as aluminides of titanium, nickel and iron exhibit an attractive combination of physical and mechanical properties such as high melting point, low density, high strength, good oxidation, and creep resistance, due to their strong internal order and mixed bonding. However, the properties of these materials are often obtained at a cost in terms of ease of manufacturing....
The interfaces between polymers and inorganic materials are of pivotal academic and industrial interest. An example of this is the interface in nanocomposites, a class of materials composed of polymers (matrix) and inorganic nanoscale powders (fillers). In general, the performance of a nanocomposite strongly depends not only on the physical properties of the matrix but also on the interaction...
