Instrumentation, analysis and testing exhibition
The 23rd Instrumentation, Analysis and Testing exhibition will take place on 8 March 2006 at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, UK.
The day will be of direct benefit to engineering designers and all those involved in developing and marketing high integrity products at minimum cost.
Components intended to carry loads often contain stresses before any loads are applied.
These residual stresses may have been caused by normal production processes like forging or they may be deliberately introduced.
Either way, they can have significant effects on the performance of a component such as the fatigue life, Springback during pressing and buckling resistance.
After an introduction to the basics, speakers take a look at two of the most recent ways of approaching residual stresses: laser peening, which aims to create controlled residual stresses, and MAPS, a technique for measuring such stresses.
Emphasis will then shift to applications with Norman Thornton of nCode International and Angelo Fanourakis of GKN Autostructures looking at the effect of residual strain on product life and manufacture and John Draper of Safe Technology addressing the inclusion of forming and assembly stresses in fatigue analysis from FEA.
Afternoon sessions major on fatigue crack propagation.
Two presentations deal with applying fracture mechanics to the problem of numerical life prediction and the last two reports, from Serco Assurance and British Nuclear Fuels, cover their substantial experience in this field.
The day is co-sponsored by BSSM (British Society for Strain Management).
