1.2. Material properties#

The various material properties are given below.

The material parameters used in this test case should not be used for studies. They do not correspond to real characteristics.

Young’s module: \(E=210000.0–30.0T\) in \(\mathrm{MPa}\)

Poisson’s ratio: \(\nu =0.30+5.0E-05T\)

Coefficient of thermal expansion: \(\alpha =\left(15.0+0.002T\right)1.0E-06\)

Plastic part

\(\kappa =0.8\)

Elastic limit at \(\text{0.2\%}\) in \(\mathrm{MPa}\): \({R}_{02}={R}_{02}^{0}\mathrm{.}{C}_{w}\text{\_}{R}_{e}\mathrm{.}{I}_{r}\text{\_}{R}_{e}\)

with

\({R}_{02}^{0}=270.0-0.65T+0.001{T}^{2}\)

\({C}_{w}\text{\_}{R}_{e}=1.0\)

\({I}_{r}\text{\_}{R}_{e}=\left(4.0–3.0{e}^{\frac{-\mathit{IRRA}}{3}}\right)\)

Ultimate compulsion in \(\mathit{MPa}\): \({R}_{m}={R}_{02}(T,\mathrm{IRRA})+({R}_{m}^{0}–{R}_{02}^{0})\mathrm{.}{C}_{w}\text{\_}{R}_{m}\mathrm{.}{I}_{r}\text{\_}{R}_{m}\)

with

\({R}_{m}^{0}=600.0-1.5T+0.010{T}^{2}\)

\({C}_{w}\text{\_}{R}_{m}=0.50\)

\({I}_{r}\text{\_}{R}_{m}=0.005-0.002\left(1.0-{e}^{\frac{-\mathit{IRRA}}{4.0}}\right)+{e}^{\frac{-\mathit{IRRA}}{1.8}}\)

Distributed elongation: \({ϵ}_{u}=\mathrm{ln}(1.0+{ϵ}_{u}^{0}.{C}_{w}\text{\_}{ϵ}_{u}.{I}_{r}\text{\_}{ϵ}_{u}.1.0E-02)\)

with

\({\epsilon }_{u}^{0}\mathrm{=}5.0\mathrm{-}0.15T+0.0007{T}^{2}\)

\({I}_{r}\text{\_}{\epsilon }_{u}\mathrm{=}{e}^{\mathrm{-}\mathit{IRRA}}\)

Irradiation part

Swelling part

\(R=0.0020{\mathit{dpa}}^{-1}\)

\(\alpha =1.0\) \({\phi }_{\mathrm{0 }}=40.0\mathrm{dpa}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

For edges \(\mathrm{AB}\) and \(\mathrm{DC}\), \(\mathrm{DY}=0\)

For edge \(\mathrm{AD}\), \(\mathrm{DX}=0\)

In addition, a linear temperature ramp having a maximum \(400°C\) as well as a linear irradiation ramp having a maximum of \(140\mathrm{dpa}\) are applied.
