27th - 30th September 2011

Aim and Scope
The importance of accurately accounting for residual stresses in component integrity assessments is well-known, and universally accepted. Equally, the need to validate numerical predictions of residual stress against high quality residual stress experimental data is now viewed as a necessity. The last few years have seen significant advances and developments being made in the techniques available to measure and model residual stress. This four-day workshop will enable participants to become fully knowledgeable about the main residual stress measurement and modelling techniques through a series of lectures, laboratory demonstrations, facility visits and in-depth discussions. Acknowledged experts, leaders and pioneers in residual stress measurements will provide the basics, details and application “know how” of the most important and widely used techniques. The measurement and modelling aspects will be brought together in a "case study" lecture to provide further insight. The applicability and usefulness of the techniques in industrial problems will finally be considered.
Programme and Format
The workshop is restricted to 30 delegates to ensure that core technical material may be delivered in a stimulating and lively environment. The workshop runs for 4 days, commencing at 9.30am on Tuesday 27th and finishes at 2pm on Friday 30th. It will be based around a series of 50-minute lectures provided by acknowledged experts, and laboratory demonstrations with no more than 8 participants in each lab.
Venue and Accommodation
The lectures and demonstrations will take place in the Queen’s Building at the University of Bristol.
Accommodation, included in the registration fee, will be provided at the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, which is situated a short distance away from the main workshop venue. This Victorian-style hotel is in a fabulous location next to Bristol Cathedral, the historic waterfront and Cabot Circus shopping centre.
An informal evening reception on Monday 26th is also being held this year and is included in the registration fee. It is hoped all delegates and speakers will be able to attend.
City of Bristol
Bristol is situated in a pleasant part of the UK. It is close to the famous cities of Bath and Wells, and the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds and the Mendips is within easy reach. Not too much further afield is South Wales and the South West peninsula of Devon and Cornwall. It’s easy to travel from other parts of the country to Bristol. Connections by road and rail are good, for example London is only an hour and a half by train or two hours by coach or car. Bristol also has its own airport with regular scheduled flights to other cities in the UK and Europe.
