“…However, the experimentally determined surface energies, for both inter-and intragranular fracture, are much higher than theoretical predictions, suggesting some deviation from ideal cleavage fracture behavior [5,9,11]. Indeed, the simulation results presented below reveal that crack tip shielding processes take place around the crack tips, leading to considerable increase in the energy release rates.…”

“…Both inter-and intragranular fracture modes are possible for polycrystalline UO 2 , and the contribution of intragranular fracture mode increases with increasing grain size and decreasing temperature [5,12]. The measured surface energies for the formation of new crack surfaces vary from a few to tens of J/m 2 , and are usually much higher than the theoretical predictions based on the Griffith theory [13], suggesting energy dissipation processes that may shield the crack extension [5,9,11]. These previous experiments, mostly done decades ago, provide the engineering scale understanding on the fracture behavior of UO 2 .…”
