Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

Modelling and validation of the results of a Vertical Shaft Impactor (VSI) and a bin (several meters diameter).

Hong Kong, Hong Kong Sar

Continuing research on the relationship between surface residual stress and hardness. An approximately linear relationship has been detected.

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Relationship between micro-hardness and residual stress state. The goal was to indirectly determine the surface residual stress of diesel injection pipes.
