NEUP CINR-23-29733: Mechanisms-based Acceleration of Materials Qualifications for Creep-Fatigue Performance in Advanced Nuclear Systems

The goal of this research is to fully understand, quantify and model creep-fatigue 'damage' as a function of loading patterns, temperature and microstructural evolution. Using this experimental information over a large range of relevant stress levels and temperatures, we will provide a mechanisms -based creep-fatigue analysis approach which will properly qualify high temperature alloys for extended service in advanced nuclear systems where creep-fatigue is currently a major design limitation.
