Mechanical Metallurgy of Nuclear Materials

Mechanical Metallurgy of Nuclear Materials reviews the mechanical metallurgy of metallic materials primarily in thermal and irradiation conditions and discusses the latest developments on this frontier. The book draws heavily upon the author’s own research conducted over the past four decades on various metallic materials, and also includes the current research in the field. This comprehensive reference details the mechanical aspects of nuclear materials, including materials processing, mechanical and fracture properties, modeling and simulation of mechanical properties, as well as plant life management and extension.
