Bragg-Edge neutron transmission strain tomography. This project aims to use neutron strain tomography to improve solid mechanics research and advanced manufacturing techniques. The investigators have developed a tensor reconstruction algorithm, similar to an enhanced CT or MRI scan, which can determine the finely grained three-dimensional triaxial stress distribution inside solid objects by measuring neutron transmission.

This project aims to use neutron strain tomography to improve solid mechanics research and advanced manufacturing techniques. The investigators have developed a tensor reconstruction algorithm, similar to an enhanced CT or MRI scan, which can determine the finely grained three-dimensional triaxial stress distribution inside solid objects by measuring neutron transmission. Using energy-resolved neutron detector technology, this project intends to realise and extend this technique to transform several areas of applied mechanics research.Read moreRead less
