Determination and mitigation of the uncertainty of neutron diffraction measurements of residual strain in large-grained polycrystalline material
نویسندگان
چکیده
For large-grained samples it is advantageous to perform pairs of neutron diffraction measurements at the same spatial location but rotated 180° around the geometric centre of the gauge volume as a means of minimizing the scatter coming from the random positioning of grains within the gauge volume.

Strain incompatibility and residual strains in ferroelectric single crystals
Residual strains in ferroelectrics are known to adversely affect the material properties by aggravating crack growth and fatigue degradation. The primary cause for residual strains is strain incompatibility between different microstructural entities. For example, it was shown in polycrystalline ferroelectrics that residual strains are caused due to incompatibility between the electric-field-ind...
متن کاملMicromechanical quantification of elastic, twinning, and slip strain partitioning exhibited by polycrystalline, monoclinic nickel–titanium during large uniaxial deformations measured via in-situ neutron diffraction
We draw upon existing knowledge of twinning and slip mechanics to develop a diffraction analysis model that allows for empirical quantification of individual deformation mechanisms to the macroscopic behaviors of low symmetry and phase transforming crystalline solids. These methods are applied in studying elasticity, accommodation twinning, deformation twinning, and slip through neutron diffrac...
متن کاملNeutron Larmor Diffraction for the Determination of Absolute Lattice Spacing
The Neutron Larmor diffraction method is applied for the first time to determine absolute lattice spacing of a Silicon powder and polycrystalline IN718 samples. The absolute value of lattice spacing can be measured to an accuracy of 7· 10A. However, absolute determination of the lattice parameter is limited by the quality of the reference specimen used. Absolute lattice spacing determined by La...
متن کاملA Neutron Diffraction and Modeling Study of Uniaxial Deformation in Polycrystalline Beryllium
The deformation of polycrystalline beryllium to strains of 60.8 pct in uniaxial tension and compression was studied by neutron diffraction and modeled using an elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) model. The beryllium response is asymmetric with respect to tension and compression in both the macroscopic behavior, as displayed in the stress/strain curve, and the microscopic lattice response. Th...
متن کاملInvestigation of Important Parameters in Residual Stress Determination in Isotropic Plates and Laminated Composites by Slitting Method
In the slitting method, a small width slit is created incrementally through the thickness of the stressed specimen and the released strains in each increment are recorded by a strain gauge. Compliance coefficients relate the measured strains to the residual stresses. This paper investigates the important parameters influencing the calculation of compliance coefficients for isotropic plates and ...
