STP 955 resulted from a major international forum for the exchange and discussion of both the fundamental and technological aspects of behavior change in materials exposed to radiation environments. 66 papers comprise this book whose contents have been categorized into seven distinct technical areas: radiation-induced defects and their diffusion; neutron-induced swelling; charge ...
This publication is divided into five major subject areas: Creep and Swelling; Microstructural Development; Pressure Vessel Steels; Mechanical Properties; Charged Particle Irradiation; Theory of Radiation ...
Although these alloys were developed for application in nuclear power plants because of their low swelling behavior, their high creep-rupture strength and appealing ...
Chemical changes in soil such as pH, lime additions, salinity, and their effects on physical properties (such as mechanical behavior, swelling, compressibility, plasticity, and strength) are discussed in detail. 14 peer-reviewed papers cover: • lime and lime-like materials• bentonite/natural ...
This book is an update of the book of the same title, providing important extensions of unique techniques of numerical analyses of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and/or unyielding/elastic supports. Elastic foundations are modelled either as Winkler springs or elastic half-space-type continua (isotropic or cross-anisotropic). The ...
Features the most current research from an international body of leading experts on how radiation impacts the microstructure and mechanical properties of a wide range of metals. This comprehensive publication includes 71 peer-reviewed papers organized into the following key areas: • radiation damage mechanisms and modeling in reactor pressure vessel steels • relevant mechanical ...
Fifty-nine peer-reviewed papers provide the latest international research on nuclear materials.Although the primary focus is on pressure vessel steels, including mechanical properties and microstructures, it contains papers on the latest research on fundamentals of radiation effects in materials as well as on stainless steels and nonferrous alloys. It has a truly international flavor containing ...
Fifty-seven papers provide a diverse and highly technical discussion of the influence of radiation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of structural materials. Nine sections cover: reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels, austenitic and ferritic/martensitic alloys, proton and spallation neutron sources, radiation damage fundamentals, and other materials. Twenty-five papers discuss ...
This two-volume set is a collection of research results of radiation effects in structural materials and nuclear fuels. Complex topics are covered in detail with supporting evidence.Volume I — 50 papers on: microstructures; gas effects; radiation-induced segregation or phase changes; micro structural modeling; fundamental defect behavior; and special measurement techniques. Volume ...
The volume contains a collection of contributions presented at the Euromech Colloquium 366. The Euromech Colloquium 366, organized by the editor, was held in Essen from June 23-28, 1997. The Colloquium provided a forum for presentation of new scientific results and ideas in the major areas of contemporary research in the field of porous media, on the theoretical as well as on the ...
To obtain the best attainable end-use stability of a wooden product it is essential to have information on the movement and shrinkage that may be expected. In this context, it is essential when drying timber to choose an accurate drying schedule in relation to the shrinkage figures and the risk of deformation. Generally, many timber properties are closely related to the density and the ...
STP 1366, the nineteenth volume in this series, examines 90 peer-reviewed papers from the international nuclear community, with the emphasis on advanced materials such as silicon carbide and vanadium alloys. A majority of the papers are devoted to pressure vessel embrittlement and its mitigation. Smaller segments address the issues of light water reactors, fusion reactors, and to a lesser ...
This volume presents the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on 'Theoretical and Numerical Methods in Continuum Mechanics of Porous Materials' held at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, September 5-10, 1999. It contains 57 articles showing the state of the art in the field of porous media research. The goal of the Symposium was to bring together the scientific results of leading experts ...
Provides insight, guidance, and confidence in proper applications of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) in containment systems for liquid, solid, and hazardous waste containment systems. Summarizes the types of products, special test procedures developed over the last several years, and results of studies of hydraulic, chemical compatibility and stability issues. The text (18 peer-reviewed papers) ...
