Residual Stress Engineering
What we do?
Stress-Space Ltd (SSL) experts measure residual stress in complex structures of any size for many engineering applications. Our team use the Contour Method, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, synchrotron diffraction and hybrid residual stress measurement methods. Located at the heart of the UK’s Science & Technology Facilities, we support access to the Diamond Light Source, the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and the wide range of STFC scientific laboratories on the Harwell Campus.
We sponsor residual stress engineering R&D (see blog) addressing measurement, high value manufacturing and structural performance challenges.
