Several recent methods for tomographic reconstruction of stress and strain fields from Bragg-edge neutron strain images have been proposed in the literature. This paper presents an extension of a previously demonstrated approach based on Gaussian Process regression which enforces equilibrium in the method. This extension incorporates knowledge of boundary conditions, primarily boundary tractions, into the reconstruction process. This is shown to increase the rate of convergence and is more tolerant of systematic errors that may be present in experimental measurements. An exact expression for a central calculation in this method is also provided which avoids the need for the approximation scheme that was previously used. Convergence of this method for simulated data is compared to existing approaches and a reconstruction from experimental data is provided. Validation of the results to conventional constant wavelength strain measurements and comparison to prior methods shows a significant improvement.

Energy resolved neutron transmission techniques can provide high-resolution images of strain within polycrystalline samples allowing the study of residual strain and stress in engineered components. Strain is estimated from such data by analysing fea
tures known as Bragg-edges for which several methods exist. It is important for these methods to provide both accurate estimates of strain and an accurate quantification the associated uncertainty. Our contribution is twofold. First, we present a numerical simulation analysis of these existing methods, which shows that the most accurate estimates of strain are provided by a method that provides inaccurate estimates of certainty. Second, a novel Bayesian non-parametric method for estimating strain from Bragg-edges is presented. The numerical simulation analysis indicates that this method provides both competitive estimates of strain and accurate quantification of certainty, two demonstrations on experimental data are then presented.
This paper presents a proof-of-concept demonstration of triaxial strain tomography from Bragg-edge neutron imaging within a three-dimensional sample. Bragg-edge neutron transmission can provide high-resolution images of the average through thickness
strain within a polycrystalline material. This poses an associated rich tomography problem which seeks to reconstruct the full triaxial strain field from these images. The presented demonstration is an important step towards solving this problem, and towards a technique capable of studying the residual strain and stress within engineering components. A Gaussian process based approach is used that ensures the reconstruction satisfies equilibrium and known boundary conditions. This approach is demonstrated experimentally on a non-trivial steel sample with use of the RADEN instrument at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. Validation of the reconstruction is provided by comparison with conventional strain scans from the KOWARI constant-wavelength strain diffractometer at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and simulations via finite element analysis.
The control of optically driven high-frequency strain waves in nanostructured systems is an essential ingredient for the further development of nanophononics. However, broadly applicable experimental means to quantitatively map such structural distor
tion on their intrinsic ultrafast time and nanometer length scales are still lacking. Here, we introduce ultrafast convergent beam electron diffraction (U-CBED) with a nanoscale probe beam for the quantitative retrieval of the time-dependent local distortion tensor. We demonstrate its capabilities by investigating the ultrafast acoustic deformations close to the edge of a single-crystalline graphite membrane. Tracking the structural distortion with a 28-nm/700-fs spatio-temporal resolution, we observe an acoustic membrane breathing mode with spatially modulated amplitude, governed by the optical near field structure at the membrane edge. Furthermore, an in-plane polarized acoustic shock wave is launched at the membrane edge, which triggers secondary acoustic shear waves with a pronounced spatio-temporal dependency. The experimental findings are compared to numerical acoustic wave simulations in the continuous medium limit, highlighting the importance of microscopic dissipation mechanisms and ballistic transport channels.
We demonstrate a neutron tomography technique with sub-micrometer spatial resolution. Our method consists of measuring neutron diffraction spectra using a double crystal diffractometer as a function of sample rotation and then using a phase retrieval
algorithm followed by tomographic reconstruction to generate a density map of the sample. In this first demonstration, silicon phase-gratings are used as samples, the periodic structure of which allows the shape of the gratings to be imaged without the need of position sensitive detectors. Topological features found in the reconstructions also appear in scanning electron micrographs. The reconstructions have a resolution of about 300 nm, which is over an order of magnitude smaller than the resolution of radiographic, phase contrast, differential phase contrast, and dark field neutron tomography methods. Further optimization of the underlying phase recovery and tomographic reconstruction algorithm is also considered.
Results of experimental investigations of a neutron resonances width in planar waveguides using the time-of-flight reflectometer REMUR of the IBR-2 pulsed reactor are reported and comparison with theoretical calculations is presented. The intensity o
f the neutron microbeam emitted from the waveguide edge was registered as a function of the neutron wavelength and the incident beam angular divergence. The possible applications of this method for the investigations of layered nanostructures are discussed.
