NEUP CINR-21-24228: Quantifying the Dynamic and Static Porosity/Microstructure Characteristics of Irradiated Graphite through Multi-technique Experiments and Mesoscale Modeling

In this project, we propose a joint experimental-computational approach to probing and quantifying the porosity and microstructure characteristics of irradiated nuclear graphite grades and their influence on dimensional changes and turnaround behavior as well as mechanical properties. Our chief focus is on quantifying both the static and dynamic porosity/crack characteristics in various graphitic phases through several experimental techniques.
