In this study, high temperature deformation characteristics of niobium-containing zirconium alloy cladding materials (Zirlo™) have been evaluated via both ring-creep and burst tests. Creep-rupture data are presented in terms of Larson–Miller parameters (LMP). Data (creep rate vs. stress) from ring-creep and burst tests are analyzed, and operating deformation mechanisms are elucidated. This study demonstrates that the hoop creep data obtained from ring-creep and burst tests are equivalent, and one can be replaced with the other, if needed, in order to evaluate creep life.}, number={3}, journal={NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN}, author={Seok, C.

These studies have remained largely inconclusive in establishing the creep mechanisms in nanocrystalline materials. The stress exponent and activation energy values obtained for nanocrystalline materials do not correlate well with conventional, well established creep models. Furthermore, discrepancy between experimentally determined deformation rates and theoretical predictions suggests that an entirely new mechanism of creep may be operational in these materials. Thus, this work aims to develop an understanding of the creep behavior of nanocrystalline materials by considering a stress assisted grain growth mechanism that has been recently identified in these materials. A model that provides an understanding of some observations made in creep literature has been developed. Impression creep data obtained from tests on nanocrystalline aluminum agree with model predictions.}, number={21-22}, journal={MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING A-STRUCTURAL MATERIALS PROPERTIES MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROCESSING}, author={Gollapudi, S. and Rajulapati, K.

Stress rupture properties of recrystallized Zircaloy-4 alloy were evaluated using burst testing of closed-end thin-walled tubing at varied test temperatures and internal pressures. The rupture data are correlated using the Larson-Miller parameter. The uniform circumferential elongations were also measured from which the hoop creep rates were calculated. These results were fitted to Monkman-Grant relationship with the aim of extrapolating the data to in-service stress levels. Furthermore, the creep data were plotted according to the Dorn equation where a transition in deformation mechanism from ‘power-law’ to ‘power law breakdown’ for Zircaloy-4 was noted. TEM studies corroborated the transition in mechanism from the power-law regime to a power-law breakdown regime.}, booktitle={Proceedings of 16th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering-Volume 1}, publisher={New York, NY: ASME}, author={Marple, B. and Song, Y.
