Abstract
The problem investigated in the present work concerns the physical processes involved in radiation damage and the way they affect the mechanical properties of ductile materials. Multiscale modeling of evolution of radiation induced micro-damage in ductile materials subjected to periodic stress states in the inelastic range is presented. The resulting micro-structural and damage evolution causes profound changes of the macroscopic properties and severely degrades the lifetime of the components subjected to irradiation. The evolution of radiation induced damage is combined with the evolution of classical micro-damage of mechanical origin (micro-cracks and micro-voids), within the common framework of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). An additive formulation with respect to damage parameters (tensors) has been used. The Rice & Tracey kinetic law may be conveniently applied to describe the evolution of radiation induced damage in the form of clusters of voids embedded in the metallic matrix. Closed form analytical solutions for the problem of periodic irradiation combined with cyclic axial loads, corresponding to R&T law was obtained.
