Characterization on crack propagation of nuclear graphite under three-point bending
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2019 The fracture properties of graphite produced in China, named as CLG, were studied by performing three-point bending tests on center-notched beams. The load-deflection (P-δ) curves and load-crack mouth opening displacement (P-CMOD) curves of the beams in ...
