Elastoplastic Deformation and Fracture Behavior of Cr-Coated Zr-4 Alloys for Accident Tolerant Fuel Claddings

In situ tensile tests and crystal plasticity finite element modeling (CPFEM) were used to study the deformation and cracking behaviors of Cr-coated Zr-4 alloys for accident tolerant fuel claddings under tension. Based on the experimental results, vertical cracks in the coating generally initiated fr...
