PyCCEGACreep
Computes the irradiation creep (Miller's model) for PyC in an implicit manner.
Description
The irradiation creep correlation for PyC is taken from Petti et al. (2004) and Powers and Wirth (2010). With ((MPa nm)) as the creep constant, as one component of the principal stress, (0.5) as the Poisson ratio for creep, and (10 n/m, 0.18 MeV) as the fast neutron fluence, the creep rate is computed as where
The steady state creep coefficient, is given by Miller et al. (2018) as
Here, , in g/cm and in C. At the expense of inverting a matrix, it is possible to determine the creep strain increment in an implicit fashion, allowing arbitrarily large time steps without unstable creep response.
Validity Range
Temperature: 600-1300 C
Values at 600 C and 1300 C are used for temperatures below 600 C and above 1300 C, respectively.

# Test of PyC creep model using the Miller correlation.

# This is a uniaxial test, axisymmetric coordinates, with a constant axial pressure.
#
# Given the temperature (1200 K), flux (1.25e18 n/m^2), and pressure (-1e5 Pa),
# the total creep strain can be calculated by hand as 6.5587e-5.

# BISON computes this strain precisely. Check creep_strain_yy.
