SS316ElasticityTensor

Computes the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for Stainless Steel 316 cladding using relations as a function of temperature.

Description

This class computes the elasticity tensor for Stainless Steel 316. Two models are available by setting the parameter elastic_constants_model to either "ornl" or "legacy_ifr". Both models support AD by adding the prefix AD to the name for the "type" parameter.

ORNL Model

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) model (Hammond et al., 1979), option "ornl", is based on dynamic measurements near static conditions. The dynamically measured Young's modulus for 304 stainless steel was compared to the static value and was found similar. Both 304 and 316 stainless steel dynamic values for Young's modulus were compared and also found to be very similar. As such, this model approximates the static value by using data from the dynamic measurements. Young's modulus, , in GPa is fit as

(1)

where converts temperature, , from Kelvin and accounts for measurement temperature. Poisson's ratio, , follows the same form as

(2)

Legacy IFR

The "legacy_ifr" option activates a legacy model attributed to the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) Handbook. However, the model cannot be found currently, and the source is not known, but is still available as a legacy option. The model uses the following expressions for a temperature-dependent Young's modulus (Pa) and Poisson's ratio, (3) where is the temperature in Kelvin and the Poisson's ratio is constant over the full operating range of the material.
