The mechanical and cracking behaviour of a Cr coating, deposited on an Optimized ZIRLO
TM substrate using the Cold Spraying (CS) technique, was investigated by in-situ scanning …

Abstract δ-hydride structures in Zr nuclear fuel-rod cladding significantly affect mechanical
properties. A micromechanical phase-field model is developed to investigate the effect of …

In light water nuclear reactors, waterside corrosion of the cladding material leads to the
production of hydrogen, a fraction of which is picked up by the zirconium cladding and …

This study focuses on investigating the effects of the localized stresses that develop during
formation of zirconium hydrides on the redistribution of hydrogen atoms in the zirconium …

We propose an atomistically informed Eshelby's inclusion analysis to investigate the
morphology of secondary phases, which elastically interacted with each other through their …

The structural, elastic, optical and electronic behavior of CaSiO 3 monoclinic polymorph are
estimated utilizing ultrasoft pseudo-potential technique operated in CASTEP code. The …

It is widely accepted that the characteristics of hydrides in the Zr-based nuclear fuel cladding
are critical factors determining the integrity of the spent fuel. Therefore, to mitigate any harm …

The formation of precipitated zirconium (Zr) hydrides is closely related to the hydrogen
embrittlement of the claddings in pressured water reactors. In this work, we systematically …

We energetically predicted the morphology of Zr hydride precipitates in a hexagonal close-
packed (HCP) Zr matrix. Considering Zr hydride precipitates as ellipsoids, we used …

This work extends the convolutional multiple whole profile (CMWP) line profile analysis
(LPA) procedure to determine the total dislocation density and character of irradiation …
