On the role of hydrogen filled vacancies on the embrittlement of zirconium: An ab initio investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, an ab initio study of the influence of hydrogen filled vacancies on the mechanical properties of zirconium was carried out and the results of the modelling imply that the work of fracture and peak stress decrease as a result of the presence of hydrogen-filled vacancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
High temperature nanoindentation hardness and Young’s modulus measurement in a neutron-irradiated cladding material
TL;DR: In this paper, the hardness and Youngs modulus in the hydride and matrix of a high burn-up neutron-irradiated Zircaloy-2 cl...
Journal ArticleDOI
Ab initio-based fracture toughness estimates and transgranular traction-separation modelling of zirconium hydrides
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of an ab initio study of the transgranular fracture toughness and cleavage of brittle zirconium hydrides, using the Griffith-Irwin relation to assess the fractur...
