An Experimental Determination of the Effect of Cyclic Stress on Void Growth in Ultra-High-Purity Aluminum During Simultaneous 800 Mev Proton Irradiation

Conditions of radiation and a simultaneous cyclic stress are inherent in advanced energy system designs, including magnetically and inertially confined controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors (CTR). Walter Green and Johannes Weertman (G & W) had predicted that edge dislocations, set into oscillatory motion by an applied cyclic stress, would "sweep up" excess radiation produced vacancies that would otherwise produce void growth.
