Microstructural scale strain localisation in nuclear graphite

Mark Joyce, James Marrow

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The surface strain fields evolved during disc compression tests on virgin IM1-24 were obtained via electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). A methodology for characterising strain localisation on a microstructural scale is presented, which provides a quantitative description of the damage localisation and failure processes. © 2008.
