NEUP CINR-18-15649: Benchmarking Microscale Ductility Measurements

The objectives of the proposed study are 1) to establish best practices for obtaining tensile microscale ductility measurements, and 2) to validate methodologies to for comparing microscale ductility measurements to macroscale ductility measurements. In order to achieve these objectives, a multi-lengthscale, multi-temperature testing protocol and simulation framework will be executed first on copper as a model material to validate the PIs' approach, and second on reactor grade Zircaloy.
