Hi, Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the tips. Most appreciated.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. Cheers!

Thanks! Yes, the camera we use is a JEOL7200, using liquid nitrogen as a coolant. I can appreciate what your saying. If it were possible to monitor temperatures THROUGH a liquid coolant media, do you think that the cooling affects of the media on the specimen would effectively null the...

AlanD It's a good query! It is the only way I can imagine work hardening specifically to be of benefit in this case.

I may be completely wrong with this but I'll give it a shot anyway. The masts are constantly being loaded and unloaded. The manufacturers anticipate loads which may cause concentrated stresses beyond yield and subsequent workhardening. With the load removed the mast may obtain a slight...

I've been working using MENTAT/MARCK7 to create a 3D model of a bi-material interface and the effect of cracks around this interface. I was wondering if anyone could help me in finding out how exactly the Total Strain Energy is calculated in the case of an 8 noded 3D Element. Thanks, Bespin

I have some questions about the limits of using thermal imagers to map the heat released due to material deformations of solids surrounded in a liquid media. 1) Can thermal imagers be used to make accurate assessments in liquid media? 2) What are the factors which limit the media between...
