| Research Group: Research group on evaluation of residual stress and strength website http://jaeabl.spring8.or.jp/bl22xu/sp8stress/index.html 
 Overview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes: The rational design of machines and structures is required for construction of a secure and safe society. For that reason, it is important to grasp the distribution of the stress/strain in engineering components. Purpose of this research group is to develop the high accuracy nondestructive evaluation techniques to measure the stress/strain in complex components. Furthermore, defects and deformation damage of components in service are evaluated. These techniques contribute to the development of the design method of structures and new materials.Keywords: Strength of material, Stress/Strain, Residual stress, Deformation, Damage, Defects, Fracture, Life evaluation | ||||||||||
