In situ observation of crack nuclei in poly-granular graphite under ring-on-ring equi-biaxial and flexural loading
Fracture tests of graphite are known to exhibit sensitivity to stress state, such as a difference between their flexural and tensile strengths. Bi-axial tensile and flexural loading are representative of the stress states in some regions of graphite components in nuclear fission reactors, where load...
