Theoretical models of threshold stress intensity factor and critical hydride length for delayed hydride cracking considering thermal stresses
Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) is an important failure mechanism for Zircaloy tubes in the demanding environment of nuclear reactors. The threshold stress intensity factor, KIH, and critical hydride length, lC, are important parameters to evaluate DHC. Theoretical models of them are developed for Zi...
