“…1,5,8,[11][12][13][14] However, despite broad studies and advancements, multiple phenomena still require thorough investigation and explanation. Such phenomena include, among others the swelling effect, 7,[15][16][17][18] embrittlement, 2,5,7 or defect agglomeration zones, all induced by ion irradiation. As noted above, structural materials for next-generation fission reactors are prone to damage under irradiation.…”

“…First, the equivalent neutron fluences at ε a = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% are evaluated, as summarized in Table 10. Based on Bykov et al (1981) α-quartz is largely affected by the irradiation temperature, and while the mechanism is not known, even for temperatures less than 100°C, the impact is obvious (Luu et al 2020). Regarding Fig.…”

To evaluate the radiation-induced degradation of concrete, a rigid-body spring network model is introduced that takes into account the three phases in concrete: mortar, aggregate, and the interfacial transition zone. The proposed model enables evaluation of the change in the physical properties of concrete affected by aggregate expansion under the free restraint condition. Good agreement with previous experimental data is found for the linear expansion of the concrete specimen and the compressive strength, Young's modulus, and splitting tensile strength. Based on the numerical results, it is concluded that, to reproduce the physical property changes in concrete, the expansion of mortar due to the radiation-induced expansion of fine aggregate and/or creep behavior must be considered. In addition, it is clarified that an isolated expansion of mortar with a lack of expansion in the coarse aggregate also degrades the concrete and, consequently, analysis of the type of aggregate used is critical for predicting the properties of concrete under neutron irradiation. Furthermore, the impact of inhomogeneous expansion of rock-forming minerals in coarse aggregates on physical property changes is studied, showing that such a partial expansion in the aggregates and the resultant cracks in aggregates greatly influences the reduction of the Young's modulus, with minimal impact on the reduction of compressive strength. The proposed model can be used to evaluate concrete degradation due to radiation-induced volumetric expansion of aggregate caused by the metamictization of rock-forming minerals.

This paper presents the measurement of the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and linear coefficient of thermal expansion in a meta-chert. Two areas are targeted in this aggregate -a white area where quartz grains are densely compacted and a gray area where the quartz grains are coarser. The macro-and micro-scale data are compared. Young's modulus is not significantly different between macro-scale compression and micro-scale tension loading in the white region. Macro-scale splitting and micro-scale direct tensile strengths exhibit similar bimodal behavior due to the failure mechanisms of these two distinct areas. The macro-and micro-scale coefficients of thermal expansion are similar for the gray region, reflecting the quartz nature. Conversely, the micro-scale coefficient of thermal expansion of the white area shows a different behavior.
