Today and tomorrow, we are hosting a Workshop on Strain/Stress Scanning and Imaging for Engineering Applications (SIEA '14). The focus will be to provide a brief introduction to the unique strain-scanning and imaging beam lines available at ANSTO.
The aim the workshop is to familiarize the engineering academia and industry with the instruments' capabilities, the various data-processing methods, and the practical use of experimental outcomes in the design and integrity assessment of engineering components.
The workshop, which is being run in conjunction with the National Committee for Applied Mechanics and AINSE, features the following key topics:
- Stress evaluation using diffraction techniques
- Neutron radiography and tomography
- Industrial applications of neutron residual-stress measurements and imaging
- Complementary techniques for residual-stress measurements and imaging
