The relevance of residual stresses in engineering components is being increasingly appreciated by modern engineers concerned with design and performance. The no

The accurate, absolute, and non-destructive measurement of residual stress fields within metallic, ceramic, and composite engineering components has been one of

Over the past 25 years the field of neutron diffraction for residual stress characterization has grown tremendously, and has matured from the stage of trial dem

While residual stress can be a problem in many industries and lead to early failure of component, it can also be introduced deliberately to improve lifetimes. K
