Beschreibung
This book discusses the use of micro-mechanical testing and nano-indentation for assessing the mechanical property changes due to ion and neutron irradiation. First, it describes the types and mechanisms of radiation damage, and its effects on the mechanical properties of materials subjected to high radiation doses, such as in nuclear reactors and spacecrafts. It then discusses the need for small-scale testing, the advantages and limitations of various methods, and the evolution of the technology to the present day. In the following chapters, the various methods of small-scale testing, including nano-indentation, micro-tensile, micro-compressive, and micro-cantilever testing are described in the context of radiation damage studies, along with experimental setups and modelling methods for the analysis of results. Thus, this book acts both as an introduction to micro-mechanical testing in irradiated materials, as well as a reference book for researchers interested in using these methods.
