Stress intensity factors for through clad and underclad defects in a WWER type reactor pressure vessel in pressurised thermal shock analysis
This study develops stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for cladded WWER reactor pressure vessel nozzles subjected to pressurised thermal shock loading. Although finite element analysis is widely used for fracture assessment…
