Abstract

The invention discloses a method for constructing the thermal-mechanical coupling constitutive relationship of zirconium alloys under neutron irradiation conditions. The method of the invention combines the elasto-viscoplastic self-consistent theory to establish a cross-scale theoretical system from single crystal to polycrystal. The Matlab calculation program can easily, quickly and accurately calibrate the model parameters, and the numerical results of the model can be in good agreement with the experimental data under different external load conditions. The theoretical model framework has wide applicability and scalability, and can provide a reliable theoretical basis for the study of the macroscopic mechanical behavior of nuclear materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal materials and radiation damage effects, and in particular relates to a construction method of a zirconium alloy thermal-mechanical coupling constitutive relationship under neutron radiation conditions. Background technique [0002] The energy problem is a key problem that needs to be solved urgently and restricts the sustainable development of mankind. Among many new energy sources, nuclear energy is one of the energy sources with the most development potential. The development and utilization of nuclear energy are inseparable from the development of nuclear materials. It can be said that whether nuclear structural materials with good radiation resistance can be developed is the core issue affecting the development of nuclear energy. [0003] Zirconium alloy is an important nuclear structural material, and its advantages include good resistance to neutron radiation, excellent processing performanc...
