A mathematical model describing the processes of elastoplastic deformation and damage accumulation under low-cycle loading has been developed, based on the viewpoint of mechanics of damaged media (MDM). The MDM model consists of three interrelated parts: defining relations describing elastoplastic behavior of the materials, taking into account its dependence on the failure process; evolutionary equations describing the kinetics of damage accumulation; strength criteria of the damaged material. In order to assess the reliability and scope of applicability of the defining relations of mechanics of damaged media, the processes of plastic deformation and damage accumulation in variety of structural steels in low-cycle tests have been numerically analyzed, and numerical results obtained have been compared with the data of full-scale experiments. It is shown that the presented model of mechanics of damaged media adequately describes, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with accuracy, necessary for practical calculations, the main effects of the processes of plastic deformation and damage accumulation in structural alloys under block-type non-stationary non-symmetrical low-cycle loading.

The results of computation and experimental studies of changes in the regularities of the strain resistance and damage accumulation in conditions of the irregular low cycle loading are presented and compared with similar data for a regular cyclic elastoplastic deformation at the same loading. The irregular mode of low cycle loading implemented in the study is adopted in the form of an equiprobable distribution of changes in the stress amplitudes within a given range between maximum and minimum levels at the symmetric form of the cycles. This mode was reproduced on test equipment through introduction of the corresponding functional dependence of changes in the stress amplitude in the cycles into the control program. The data on a cycle-by-cycle kinetics of both cyclic and unilaterally accumulated strains obtained under irregular mode of loading were recorded in a databank and then compared with the data for a regular loading. This provided the possibility of their analytical description by the corresponding equations of state with the correction of the parameters of the diagrams of cyclic elastoplastic deformation taking into account the conditions of irregularity of loading modes. The results of the experiments are presented in the form of diagrams of the tests modes, curves of a low cycle fatigue of the studied material at the soft and hard loading modes, diagrams of a cycle-by-cycle kinetics of the cyclic and accumulated strains at the regular and irregular modes, and also as kinetic diagrams of damages accumulation for these conditions. Using the summation criteria expressed through the deformation characteristics of accumulated damage, it is shown that taking into account change in the character of the strain development under irregular low-cycle loading, the criterion dependences can be used to assess the durability and compare it with the similar data under regular modes when accepting the condition of attaining the limiting state.

The electron irradiation of silicate glasses containing metal cations produces various types of phase separation and decomposition which includes oxygen bubble formation at intermediate temperatures figure I. The kinetics of bubble formation are too rapid to be accounted for by oxygen diffusion but the behavior is consistent with a cation diffusion mechanism if the amount of oxygen in the bubble is not significantly different from that in the same volume of silicate glass. The formation of oxygen bubbles is often accompanied by precipitation of crystalline phases and/or amorphous phase decomposition in the regions between the bubbles and the detection of differences in oxygen concentration between the bubble and matrix by electron energy loss spectroscopy cannot be discerned (figure 2) even when the bubble occupies the majority of the foil depth.The oxygen bubbles are stable, even in the thin foils, months after irradiation and if van der Waals behavior of the interior gas is assumed an oxygen pressure of about 4000 atmospheres must be sustained for a 100 bubble if the surface tension with the glass matrix is to balance against it at intermediate temperatures.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.
