2021 CHESS Users' Meeting - Save the Date!
Our annual Users' Meeting consists of:
Beamlines in Focus: FMB
Functional materials, like semiconductors, polymers, and nanoparticles, are materials that have interesting non-mechanical properties. The definition of a functional material is usually used as a distinction from a structural material, which refers to load-bearing materials.
CHESS user examines material under thermo-mechanical loading - with goal to develop predictive material modeling
The information gained at the beamline can help model existing materials, while also helping to tailor new materials to better withstand harsh conditions.
Quantifying Through-Thickness Residual Stresses from Forming of Wrought Steel Armor Plate
What did the scientists discover?
Nondestructive residual strain measurements of thick, DOD-relevant armor steel with typical forming and welding procedures were possible using MSN-C capabilities.

Beamlines in Focus - FAST
The FAST beamline focuses on high energy monochromatic techniques in diffraction and imaging. These techniques are applied to in situ sample environments in order to investigate the microstructure of materials while they are being mechanically loaded, thermally cycled, and/or being processed or built up (as in 3D printing).
Q&A with Ryan Hurley, NSF Early CAREER Award Recipient
As CHESS strives to align research with education, we asked Ryan a few questions about the award and how he uses CHESS to pursue his research and educational goals.
