Defects in Structural Materials Workshop

Defects in Structural Materials Workshop

The aim of this workshop is to bring together established and new users to see how synchrotron light can be used to study defects and damage processes in materials, at size scales ranging from macroscopic cracks to the dislocations involved in slip and plastic deformation.

Date
29/09/20092009-09-29
Location
Diamond Light Source, Oxfordshire, UK

 
Organiser: Drs Thomas Connolley, Michael Drakopoulos, Chiu Tang and Stephen Thompson.

“Materials are like people – it’s their defects that make them interesting.”

The UK has a strong, active research community in structural materials, looking for solutions to problems and new advances for materials we often take for granted, in applications such as transportation, construction and power generation.  The community makes use of synchrotron facilities to study defects using real space (imaging) and reciprocal space (diffraction) techniques. At Diamond, the UK’s 3rd generation synchrotron light source, the Engineering and Environmental Science Village has been formed to promote collaboration and explore opportunities for research using the village’s three beamlines, as well as the other beamlines at Diamond. The aim of this workshop is to bring together established and new users to see how synchrotron light can be used to study defects and damage processes in materials, at size scales ranging from macroscopic cracks to the dislocations involved in slip and plastic deformation. We hope that participants will be inspired to perform new experiments and techniques using the facilities and opportunities which Diamond offers.
