Modelling damage in nuclear graphite

In this paper a non-local coupled plasticity and damage model for nuclear graphite is presented. The model is the adaption of an existing model for quasi-brittle materials that allows for the degradation (as a function of load) of the material properties. The model arises from the continuum-based ap...
