Engineering residual stress
Develop diffraction-based approaches linking manufacturing, internal stress and structural performance.
Explore NuMat research at USTB in engineering stress, nuclear materials, additive manufacturing, advanced alloys, surface integrity and physics-informed data methods.
Develop diffraction-based approaches linking manufacturing, internal stress and structural performance.
Investigate thermal aging, hydrogen-related damage, irradiation response and environmental degradation.
Relate processing and post-treatment to microstructure, residual stress and mechanical behavior.
Explore phase design, heterogeneous microstructures and micromechanical strengthening mechanisms.
Study coatings, diffusion layers and shot-peened gradients in relation to wear, corrosion and fatigue.
Develop traceable analysis workflows, method-selection tools and experimental–computational comparisons.
Neutron and synchrotron diffraction, in situ experiments and multiscale mechanics connect composition and processing to structure, stress and performance.
