Strain Localisation and Fracture of Nuclear Reactor Core Materials

The production of prismatic dislocation loops in nuclear reactor core materials results in hardening because the loops impede dislocation motion. Yielding often occurs by a localised clearing of the loops through interactions with gliding dislocations called channeling. The cleared channels represen...
