Plasticity of irradiated UO 2 is of major interest to improve the risk assessment of the nuclear
fuel cladding failure in the case of design basis accidents. In this study, we investigate the …

INTRODUCTION Metals are the material of choice for many structural applications because
they provide the best compromise between strength and ductility. For applications in which …

Neutron irradiation of zirconium alloys in light water nuclear reactors generates nano-scale
defects in the form of vacancy and interstitial< a>-type prismatic loops which lie in prismatic …

F321 stainless steel is renowned for its outstanding mechanical properties and corrosion
resistance, making it a crucial structural material in light water reactors and high-temperature …

We develop a novel model to study the climb/glide motion of jogged screw dislocations
within the discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) framework. We present results for the …

Single-crystal tungsten is widely utilized in various fields, benefiting from its outstanding
properties. Nano-cutting, as an ultra-precision machining method, can realize high efficiency …

The subsurface damage of micro-nano components and high-precision surface affects the
reliability and service life of the workpiece. In this study, the nano-cutting molecular …

Metal fatigue, characterized by the accumulation of dislocation defects, is a prevalent failure
mode in structural materials. Nondestructive early-stage detection of metal fatigue is …

In this study, an Al/Cu/Sn/Ni multi-layer composite (MLC) was produced by a two-step
process (ie, accumulative roll bonding and subsequent heat treatment) for up to six cycles …
