Cracking behavior of tungsten armor under ELM-like thermal shock loads: A computational study

In this work, the cracking behavior of tungsten under edge-localized mode (ELM)-like thermal shock loads was investigated on the basis of a rigorous computational fracture mechanical analysis combined with the finite element method. Typical transient thermal shock loads of ELM conditions were consid...
