Effect of non-uniform reactor cooling on fracture and constraint of a reactor pressure vessel (2018)
Journal Article
Qian, G., Niffenegger, M., Sharabi, M., & Lafferty, N. (2018). Effect of non-uniform reactor cooling on fracture and constraint of a reactor pressure vessel. Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, 41(7), 1559-1575. https://doi.org/10.1111/ffe.12796

In the lifetime prediction and extension of a nuclear power plant, a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) has to demonstrate the exclusion of brittle fracture. This paper aims to apply fracture mechanics to analyse the non‐uniform cooling effect in case of...
