Experimental Evaluation of Deformation and Fracture Mechanisms in Highly Irradiated Austenitic Steels

“…Formation of areas with increased dislocation density (i.e., "hot spots," dislocation pileups) during occasional loading reflects the concept of "service-induced damage" [16,17]; this concept is often used for cases of fatigue or creep damage (most often, microcracks and discontinuities in the structure).…”
