NormalVectorsTRISO
Computes the normal vectors for TRISO layers.
Description
The material model NormalVectorsTRISO generates normal vectors at the quadrature points in a 2D mesh generated by TRISO2DMeshGenerator. These normal vectors are utilized by other material models such as PyCThermalExpansionEigenstrain, PyCCEGAIrradiationEigenstrain, etc. to rotate the strains computed in local coordinate system (spherical coordinate system) to global coordinate system (cartesian coordinate system). This material model is necessary for analyzing triso particles with aspherical geomerty.
Note that this model cannot supply normal vectors for the meshes that are not generated by TRISO2DMeshGenerator.

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso2D_accident.i)
# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso2D_accident_mortar.i)
# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach.

#Irradiation-induced Creep Properties of the Buffer
#The geometry is a cube (edge length = 5 cm) made of buffer material (initial density = 1.0 g/cm^3) subject to creep.
#A pressure boundary condition of 50 MPa is applied to one side to induce a constant stress in the x-axis.
#The Poisson's ratio in creep is equal to 0.5.
#The temperature is constant and equal to 1273.15 K.
#The fast neutron flux (E>0.10 MeV) is ramped linearly from 0 to 7.5e18 n/m^2-s over 1e4 seconds and then remains constant.
#Since the stress is constant, the creep rate can be approximated as K * sigma * flux * flux_conversion_factor. With K = 8.5265e-35, sigma = -5e7 N/m^2,
# flux = 7.5e18 n/m2-s and flux_conversion_factor = 0.85, creep rate calculated as 2.7178e-08 1/s.
#At time = 7.5e6 seconds, the analytical creep strain is -0.2038.

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso1D_accident.i)
# This example is 1D spherical analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using an interface kernel to model gap mass transfer.
# Sorption constants are given in Table 1 of the following article: A.
# Londono-Hurtado, I. Szlufarska, R. Bratton and D. Morgan, "A review of
# fission product sorption in carbon structures", Journal of Nuclear

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso2D_accident_ad.i)
# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach. It uses
# Automatic Differentiation classes and models gap mass transfer using
# flux preserving and sorption mortar constraints. Sorption constants are
# given in Table 1 of the following article: A. Londono-Hurtado, I.
# Szlufarska, R. Bratton and D. Morgan, "A review of fission product
# sorption in carbon structures", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 426,
# p. 254, 2012.

#Irradiation-induced Creep Properties of the Buffer
#The geometry is a cube (edge length = 5 cm) made of buffer material (initial density = 1.0 g/cm^3) subject to creep.
#A pressure boundary condition of 50 MPa is applied to one side to induce a constant stress in the x-axis.
#The Poisson's ratio in creep is equal to 0.5.
#The temperature is constant and equal to 1273.15 K.
#The fast neutron flux (E>0.10 MeV) is ramped linearly from 0 to 7.5e18 n/m^2-s over 1e4 seconds and then remains constant.
#Since the stress is constant, the creep rate can be approximated as K * sigma * flux * flux_conversion_factor. With K = 8.5265e-35, sigma = -5e7 N/m^2,
# flux = 7.5e18 n/m2-s and flux_conversion_factor = 0.85, creep rate calculated as 2.7178e-08 1/s.
#At time = 7.5e6 seconds, the analytical creep strain is -0.2038.
