Three-dimensional numerical simulation of hydrogen-induced multi-field coupling behavior in cracked zircaloy cladding tubes

In the high-temperature and high-pressure irradiation environments, the multi-field coupling processes of hydrogen diffusion, hydride precipitation and mechanical deformation in Zircaloy cladding tubes occur. To simulate this hydrogen-induced complex behavior, a multi-field coupling method is develo...
