Residual Stresses: When do they matter?
Overview
This is a follow-on of two previous events which were successfully held on the same subject (in 2010 and 2008). It will cover measurement and calculation of residual stresses and their influence on structural integrity.
Attending this event will help you:
Develop your knowledge of measurement by neutron diffraction methods
Learn about different modelling techniques
Understand the methods of stress relief cracking
Obtain updates on these topics from experts on the state of the technology for structural integrity assessment
Share experience with practitioners and experts in the field
Improve performance in safety and integrity assessments
Choose the perfect materials at the design stage – save time and money later
Make designs more tolerant to damage
Prioritise equipment for upgrade
Learn from the lessons in Europe in the last ten years
Meet, greet and network with key industry players
