Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FracTAlS (High Cycle Fatigue Cracking of Meso- and Micromechanical Testpieces of Aluminide Intermetallics, with in situ Nanoscale Strain Mapping)

The aim of FracTAlS is to increase the understanding of the deformation mechanisms leading to and mediating cracking in high cycle fatigue loading, particularly in lightweight, structural aluminide intermetallics, in order to better direct microstructural and alloy...
