Opis

Since the 1980s, the field of neutron diffraction has grown significantly. Introduction to Characterization of Residual Stress by Neutron Diffraction offers a comprehensive overview that serves as a starting point for people gaining interest in the subject, whether for scientific or engineering applications. Written by experts in the field, this exceptional book includes descriptions of the basic scattering properties of neutrons and of quantities of direct relevance for a thorough understanding of matters that affect the recorded data. The book also covers the analysis and interpretation of measured data, the conversion of strains to stresses, and theoretical treatments of polycrystal deformation.
