Synchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to study the evolution of lattice strain and stresses
in both phases of pearlitic steel during a tensile test. The advantage of the methodology …

Characterisation of the residual stresses at a scale of polycrystalline grains is the main topic
of this work. The grazing incidence X-ray diffraction during “in situ” tensile test and a novel …

Understanding the hydride platelet reorientation in zirconium (Zr) alloy fuel claddings that
potentially occurs during the dry storage process of spent nuclear fuel is of great …

Our elastic viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) model is improved by including thermal
strain to allow study of the behavior of a Zircaloy-2 slab under moderately large strains. The …

Uniaxial thermal compression tests at 1023 K were conducted on β-quenched Zr-4 alloy to
engineering strains of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 in this paper. Electron backscatter diffraction …

This work systematically investigated the texture evolution and mechanical properties of
Pilger cold-rolled Zr-4 alloy tubes after annealing. Firstly, the deformed samples were …

This paper proposes a new way of damage characterization with the aid of the grazing
incidence X-ray diffraction technique. The results showed that a machined potassium …

The deformation mechanism in hexagonal closely-packed materials is highly dependent on
the relationship between the texture and stress state. In this study, the deformation …

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals play an important role in high-energy laser
systems, but the laser damage threshold (LDT) of KDP components is lower than expected …

In the presented research, the intergranular elastic interaction and the second-order plastic
incompatibility stress in textured ferritic and austenitic steels were investigated by means of …
