Multiscale- Multiphysics Modeling of Radiation-Damaged Materials: Embrittlement of Pressure-Vessel Steels

摘要

Radiaiton damage, and its attendant ef- fect on a wide spectrum of materials prop- erties, is a central issue in many advanced technologies ranging form ion-beam proc- essing to the development of fusion power. Indeed, the various challenges presented By radiation effects are too numerous To discuss in this brief article. However, The overarching fundamental objective of Multiscale-multiphysics (MSMP) radiation Effects modeling can be clearly stated: it Is predicting the generation, transport, fate, And consequences of all defect species cre- Ated by irradiation.
