NEUP CINR-18-15733: Development of Multi-Axial Failure Criteria for Nuclear Grade SiCf-SiCm Composites

This project will conduct experiments and modeling work to help establish multi-axial failure criteria of nuclear grade SiCf-SiCm composites, a promising material for accident tolerant fuel (ATF). A unique set of testing methods developed at the lead University will be applied to SiCf-SiCm material manufactured by an industrial partner. The research results will be incorporated into fuel performance code of another industrial collaborator.
