Effects of compositions of filler, binder and porosity on elastic and fracture properties of nuclear graphite (2014)
Journal Article
Kyaw, S. T., Sun, W., & Becker, A. A. (2015). Effects of compositions of filler, binder and porosity on elastic and fracture properties of nuclear graphite. Journal of Nuclear Materials, 457, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat.2014.10.071

Physical mechanisms at different length scales have to be taken into account while predicting the overall failure of nuclear graphite structures of advanced gas cooled graphite reactors. In this paper, the effect of composition of meso graphite phase... Read More about Effects of compositions of filler, binder and porosity on elastic and fracture properties of nuclear graphite.

Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, D., Kyaw, S., Flewitt, P., Seraffon, M., Simms, N., Pavier, M., & Jones, I. (2014). Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling. Materials Science and Engineering: A, 606, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2014.03.014

Residual stresses within thermal barrier coated (TBC) systems are predicted using finite element models and are compared against experimental measurements taken using Raman and photo-stimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopic methods. Two types of s... Read More about Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling.
