Residual Stress in Wheels: Comparison of Neutron Diffraction and Ultrasonic Methods, with Trends in RCF [PDF]
, 2014 The critical damage mechanism on many GB passenger train wheels is Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracking in the rim. Evidence from field observations suggests that RCF damage occurs much more quickly as the wheelsets near the end of their life.

Magnetic and electric properties of bismuth ferrite lead titanate ceramics [PDF]
, 2010 Solid solutions of multiferroic BiFeO3 doped with ferroelectric PbTiO3 (BFPT) can be prepared by conventional mixed oxide processing to produce a range of polycrystalline ceramics ranging throughout the xBiFeO3 - (1-x)PbTiO3 series. Sintered ceramics are

Study of Constitutive Behavior of Ferroelectrics via Self-Consistent Modeling and Neutron Diffraction [PDF]
, 2007 The central goal of this study is to develop a reliable self-consistent model to describe the constitutive behavior of polycrystalline ferroelectrics and to predict their lattice strain and texture evolution. Starting with the model developed by Huber et
