A researcher who, with <Melbourne L. Winton>, investigated dimensional instability during thermal cycling of <uranium>. Repeated temperature changes could produce permanent distortion rather than merely reversible <thermal expansion>. Their report linked a reactor-engineering problem with the response of a textured crystalline metal, using controlled cycling to explore when damaging changes developed.<Thermal Cycling of Uranium by Nathaniel Stetson and Melbourne L. Winton>[Introduction and dimensional-instability discussion: deformation, surface bumps and crystal orientation]{ref}
