This proposal to modernise existing equipment and to establish new, leading research facilities in the field of materials characterisation comprises two "bundles" of equipment.The first comprises a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and an X-Ray Tomographic Microscope. Advanced characterisation is only possible with state-of-the art imaging; this equipment will link engineering at the macro-scale with fundamental scientific discoveries at the nano-scale. There are clear synergies with research being undertaken at the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre, which is backed by £10M funding from EPSRC and Technology Strategy Board/Innovate UK. The proposed equipment underpins an atoms to applications approach to science and engineering and will be housed in a purpose-built scientific imaging facility with bespoke climatic control and vibration free floors. This facility is already under construction and will permit an emphasis on correlative microscopy spanning two, three and four dimensions, combining multiple scales and different forms of advanced microanalysis, to provide new insight and connect cutting-edge imaging and analysis techniques. The facility's ex- and in-situ mechanical testing and multi-dimension/scale imaging modalities will be a 'beamline-bridge' for advancing lab-based investigations to STFC Diamond Light Source/ISIS, increasing the number and diversity of academic/industrial take-up of central strategic RCUK facilities.The second bundle is aligned to the Institute of Structural Materials (ISM), which supports a pool of highly experienced post-doctoral research officers and support staff, and significant rolling research funding including the Rolls-Royce/EPSRC Strategic Partnership, which is designed to extend the capability of existing high temperature metallic systems and develop novel alloys for potential use within a twenty-year horizon (the "Vision 20" materials). ISM is globally recognised as a centre of excellence for mechanical characterisation of Structural Materials, and has ~£700k PA rolling EPSRC research funding secured to 2019. This proposal seeks to refresh experimental equipment which will be housed in a bespoke £14M research and testing building also under construction as part of the University's £450M campus development programme. The equipment to be refreshed includes:*Test frame for use in corrosion-fatigue environment *Thermo-mechanical fatigue test facility *Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator *Component lifing under strain control *High frequency servo-hydraulic test facility *High temperature vacuum crack propagation facilitiesThe proposal also seeks funding for a new, desktop tensile testing facility which will provide a bridge between theoretical teaching and full scale mechanical testing.The proposal benefits from significant additional investment from the Welsh European Funding Office, Welsh Government National Research Networks and Ser Cymru, and Swansea University; support from industrial users; partnership with STFC; an extensive network of academic collaborators, and the infrastructure of the University's new Science and Innovation Campus, scheduled to open in September 2015.

该提案旨在对现有设备进行现代化改造，并在材料表征领域建立新的领先研究设施，包括两个“捆绑”设备。第一个包括透射电子显微镜（TEM）和X射线断层扫描显微镜。先进的表征只能通过最先进的成像技术来实现;这种设备将把宏观尺度的工程与纳米尺度的基础科学发现联系起来。有明显的协同作用，正在进行的研究在特定的创新和知识中心，这是由£ 1000万资金从EPSRC和技术战略委员会/创新英国的支持。拟议中的设备支持从原子到应用的科学和工程方法，并将被安置在一个专门建造的科学成像设施中，该设施具有定制的气候控制和无振动地板。该设施已经在建设中，将允许强调跨越二维，三维和四维的相关显微镜，结合多种尺度和不同形式的先进微观分析，以提供新的见解并连接尖端的成像和分析技术。该设施的现场和现场机械测试以及多维/尺度成像模式将成为推进STFC钻石光源/ISIS基于实验室的研究的“光束桥”，增加中央战略RCUK设施的学术/工业占用的数量和多样性。第二束与结构材料研究所（ISM）对齐，它支持一批经验丰富的博士后研究人员和支持人员，以及包括劳斯莱斯/EPSRC战略伙伴关系在内的重大滚动研究资金，其被设计为扩展现有高温金属系统的能力，并开发新的合金以在20年的时间范围内潜在地使用（“Vision 20”材料）。ISM是全球公认的结构材料机械特性卓越中心，并拥有约70万英镑的PA滚动EPSRC研究资金，确保到2019年。该提案旨在更新实验设备，这些设备将被安置在一个定制的1400万英镑的研究和测试大楼中，该大楼也正在建设中，作为该大学4.5亿英镑校园发展计划的一部分。更新的设备包括：* 用于腐蚀疲劳环境的试验架 * 热机械疲劳试验设备 *Gleeble热机械模拟器 * 应变控制下的部件寿命 * 高频伺服液压试验设备 * 高温真空裂纹扩展设备该提案还寻求为一个新的台式拉伸试验设备提供资金，该设备将在理论教学和全面机械试验之间架起一座桥梁。该提案受益于威尔士欧洲资助办公室、威尔士政府国家研究网络和Ser Cymru以及斯旺西大学的大量额外投资;工业用户的支持;与STFC的合作伙伴关系;广泛的学术合作者网络，以及大学新的科学与创新校园的基础设施，计划于2015年9月开放。
