Since the start of the 'nuclear age'graphite has been employed as a moderator in around
100 nuclear reactors, and today there are still some 30 graphite-moderated reactors …

In-situ micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) tests of concrete cubes under progressive
compressive loading were carried out to study 3D fracture evolution. Both direct …

Develo** an advanced monitoring system for strain measurements on structural
components represents a significant task, both in relation to testing of in-service parameters …

In this study, we report a heterogeneously stacked MoS 2-Graphene Oxide (GO) membrane
that demonstrates enhanced resistance to restacking and swelling compared to …

Synthetic polygranular graphites of various grades and manufacturing routes are used in
nuclear reactors for power generation, and may be used in potential fourth generation and …

Nuclear-grade graphite is a critically important high-temperature structural material for
current and potentially next generation of fission reactors worldwide. It is imperative to …

Raman spectroscopy has long been used in studying irradiation damage in carbon/graphite
materials. It is however unclear if the measurements from different types of materials are …

Effective small specimen tests are needed to obtain fracture toughness and elastic
properties as the limited availability of irradiated graphite restricts the quantity and …

Damage development has been observed in situ within a 3-dimensional needle-punched
carbon fiber reinforced carbon and silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) ceramic composite, as …

The strain field of a crack in polygranular isotropic nuclear graphite, a quasi-brittle material,
has been studied during stable fracture propagation. Synchrotron X-ray computed …
