THE RUTHERFORD APPLETON LABORATORY, UK
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has a staff of around 1200 who support the
work of over 10000 scientists and engineers, mainly from the university research
community. Its main facilities enable research into new materials and
structures, for example from battery electrolytes to turbine blades, X-ray laser
research, space-based astronomy, the co-ordination of particle physics and many
other topics.
IISIS:
ISIS is the world's leading pulsed neutron and muon source located at the UK Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. ISIS supports an international community of around 1600 scientists who use neutrons and muons for research in physics, chemistry, materials science, geology, engineering and biology.

Gas Detector PV analysis:
CCLRC commissioned FEA Online to conduct a pressure vessel (PV) analysis of a neutron detector vessel, located at one of the ISIS accelerator target stations. The FE analysis required the inclusion of bolt pre-tension and contact for which ABAQUS FE software is ideally suited.
David McPhail,
