Effective Thermophysical and Elastic Properties of Materials with Voids

摘要

The current theories describing the influence of void swelling on conductive and elastic properties have been reviewed and compared with the limited data available. Judgements have been made as to the most appropriate equations to describe the influence of voidage on thermal and electrical conductivity, and also the shear, bulk and Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio. These equations will be included in the Fusion Materials Handbook. (ERA citation 09:033636)
