The exciting and comprehensive program of the MECA SENS VI conference provided a platform for current topics within the research fields of Mechanical Stress Evaluation with Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation. The resulting contributions in this volume offer an excellent overview of all the various aspects in this field ranging from fundamental research and modelling to practical engineering applications.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 6th International Conference on Mechanical Stress Evaluation by Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation (MECA SENS VI 2011), September 7-9, 2011, Hamburg, Germany

This book presents the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Mechanical Stress Evaluation by Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation which was hosted by the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) SOC Limited in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The conference topics included deformation & modeling, processing & welding, techniques & instruments, mechanical methods vs. diffraction, microstructure & characterization, surface modification & coatings, 3D/4D characterization and fatigue, creep & plasticity.
