Thermal–stress analysis on the crack formation of tungsten during fusion relevant transient heat loads
In the future fusion devices, ELMs-induced transient heat flux may lead to the surface cracking of tungsten (W) based plasma-facing materials (PFMs). In theory, the cracking is related to the material fracture toughness and the thermal stress-strain caused by transient heat flux. In this paper, a fi...
