Microscale mechanical characterization of materials for extreme environments
… theoretical strength in nanocrystalline metals. Irradiation induced creep is a deformation mechanism that takes place under combined stress and particle bombardment. Effective characterization of this phenomenon on nanostructured materials is crucial for the assessment of their potential use in …

The effects of irradiation on the creep and hardening behavior of crystalline and amorphous materials
… materials under harsh environments such as high irradiation dose and temperature is one of the major constraints in the development of novel materials for nuclear applications. This thesis explores the effects of irradiation on the mechanical properties of several model alloys in the context of …

Mechanical properties and influences of irradiation in dilute nanograined aluminum alloys
… are exposed to high temperatures and high irradiation damage levels that can cause mechanical and microstructural instabilities such as creep, embrittlement, void swelling, and so on. If more knowledge regarding how materials behave in such extreme environments becomes available, the …
