Residual Stress Analysis Used to Optimise Service Life of Components

When it comes to X-ray analysis we normally think of techniques like XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence and radiography. However, another interesting technique exists that uses x-rays, namely residual stress analysis. A leading light in this field is Scientia Professor Liangchi Zhang at the University of New South Wales, in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
