A mesoscale stress model for irradiated U10Mo monolithic fuels based on evolution of volume fraction/radius/internal pressure of bubbles

Fracture near the U10Mo/cladding material interface impacts fuel service life. In this work, a mesoscale stress model is developed with the fuel foil considered as a porous medium having gas bubbles and bearing bubble pressure and surface tension. The models for the evolution of bubble volume fract...
