In-situ internal strain measurements in textured austenitic steel under strai...
Internal strains and dislocation microstructures can dramatically affect the mechanical performances of metallic alloys. Then deformation mechanisms and physical properties must... -
Effects of plastic pre-strain on residual stress in welded steam tubing
Power generation plant heat exchangers contain many banks of thin section, small diameter boiler tubes that are usually cold bent to shape (introducing high levels of plastic... -
High temperature fatigue loading of Zr-2
Zircaloy-2 and its almost identical sister alloy Zr-4 are used extensively as fuel cladding, as well as other components in nuclear power reactors where it operates at 250-350C... -
Stress evaluation of RAFM weld for fusion reactor
Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structuralmaterial for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual...
