v6.01.123 SSNA123 — Validation of the law of behavior of steels under axisymmetric irradiation

Summary:

The objective of this elementary test is to validate the IRRAD3M law of behavior of steels under irradiation. Three models are present to validate each aspect of the law separately:

• modeling (a) focuses on the plastic part of the law,

• modeling (b) on the irradiation part,

• modeling (c) on the swelling part.
