Advanced nuclear plants are designed for long-term operation in quite demanding environments. Limited operation experience with the materials used in such plants necessitate a reliable assessment of damage and residual life of components. Non-destructive c ...
During cold forming processes materials are subjected to non-monotonic complex multiaxial loadings. To obtain complex shapes at low temperature requires the use of particularly ductile materials. The damage behaviour of two ductile steels is studied here a ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on austenitic stainless steels, usually used for the manufacturing of internal elements of nuclear reactors (e.g. the core shrouds), are the alteration of the microchemistry and the microstructure, and, as a consequence, ...
In-situ materials tests have the advantage to link visual and sensor based information during a dynamic experiment. In this thesis, a compact indenter-scratch test device has been built at EPFL-LSRO and installed inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on austenitic stainless steels, usually used for the manufacturing of internal elements of nuclear reactors (e.g. the core shrouds), are the alteration of the microstructure, and, as a consequence, of the mechanical prope ...
Nuclear materials have been successfully employed in commercial fission reactors for many decades. Research and material development for advanced fission system and future thermo-nuclear fusion reactors have acquired maturity while great challenges remain ...
The fracture strength of ZnO nanowires vertically grown on sapphire substrates was measured in tensile and bending experiments. Nanowires with diameters between 60 and 310 nm and a typical length of 2 μm were manipulated with an atomic force microscopy tip ...
The aim of this study is to develop coatings on polymer substrates with a combined increase in oxygen barrier performance and toughness, based on SiOx coatings modified with multifunctional organo-silane polymers of controlled polarity and reactivity. As a ...
The mechanical properties of ultrathin silicon oxide (SiOx ) coatings plasma-deposited on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films were investigated with particular attention paid to the effect of additives located in the superficial layers of the polymer ...
The fracture strength of silicon nanowires grown on a [111] silicon substrate by the vapor-liquid-solid process was measured. The nanowires, with diameters between 100 and 200 nm and a typical length of 2 μm, were subjected to bending tests using an atomic ...
