The use of some PWR components at a relatively high temperature generates a drop of their fracture properties. This embrittlement is generally attributed to the...

The non-linear mechanical behaviour of CMC involves the initiation and growth of micro-cracks. Ata macroscopic scale, mechanisms of damage can be associated with...
