Structural Integrity
Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom
The Structural Integrity group at The Open University UK specializes in research supporting the development and validation of the R6 Procedure for assessing the integrity of structures with defects. Their work involves advanced residual stress measurement techniques, such as neutron diffraction and the contour method, and integrates these data into assessment models. The group also develops benchmark weld specimens, enhances weld simulation methods, and utilizes laboratory test data to predict large-scale structural behavior. Equipped with state-of-the-art materials characterization tools and supported by leading academic and industrial partners, the group’s research aims to improve structural safety and reliability in engineering applications.
