Compressive Residual Stresses for Mitigation of Surface-Initiated Failures in DoD Tools
Abstract
The proposed portable x-ray residual stress analyzer, micro-X360s, will be the first of its kind at the University of Alabama and the surrounding region (Figure 1). It is expected to bring together researchers from different disciplines to work on problems of mutual interest. The acquisition of this tool will greatly enhance our research capability and will lead to new research outcomes on currently federally funded and other projects. It will also play a key role in the education of minority undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Alabama. The students at Tuskegee University, a historically black university, as well as other institutions and universities will also benefit from the existence of this equipment at the University of Alabama. This tool will also help with expanding the collaboration of the University of Alabama with a wide range of industries that some are subcontractors of the Department of Defense.
