MECA SENS 2017: 9th International Conference on Mechanical Stress Evaluation by Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation

In Skukuza

Both engineering and scientific aspects of residual stress are considered, including topics such as:

Stress evaluation using neutrons, synchrotron radiation and X-rays
Development of measurement methods and instrumentation
Material processing with relation to residual stresses
The influence of residual stresses on physical and mechanical properties of materials and components
Measurement and assessment of residual microstresses and intergranular stresses
Residual strains and stresses in complex materials, e.g. multiphase materials and biomaterials
Residual stresses in thin films and microcomponents
Industrial applications of residual stress analyses using neutrons, synchrotron radiation and X-rays
Complementary techniques for residual stress measurements, e.g. mechanical methods versus diffraction.
Others

Microsymposia during MECA SENS 8 covered the topics:
