UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor
Computes the isotropic elastic constants for UO2 fuel as a scaled function of the number of cracks in the fuel.
Description
This class, UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor, updates the isotropic elastic Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio for UO fuel as a function of the number of cracks within the fuel at a material point. Both elastic constants are reduced by a scaling factor that depends on the number of cracks in the fuel, and the scaling model is developed in the forthcoming article from Barani et.al. (2017). The quantity of cracks is calculated as a function of average linear power; this function is based on data from Walton and Husser (1983) and Oguma (1983).
Number of Cracks in Fuel
Fuel pellets crack when thermally-induced tensile stresses exceed the fracture strength of the material as ceramic nuclear fuel is brought up to power; therefore, this model assumes that the cracking occurs while the material is loading in the elastic deformation regime. The crack patterns are oriented either along the radial or the axial direction of the fuel rod. Three options exist for computing the total number of cracks within the fuel: Barani et al., Coindreau et al., and Walton and Matheson.
Barani et. al Model
Barani et al. (2019), forthcoming, developed a model for the number of cracks, , as a function of the linear heat rate, LHR, which does not include the specific crack pattern. where LHR = 5 is the linear heat rate required to trigger the first, = 1, crack, = 12, and = 21 kW/m. The later two parameters were determined by fitting the model to experimental data from Oguma (1983) and Walton and Husser (1983). The effects of burnup and power history on the number of cracks in the fuel are not included in the model at present.
This model does allow for multiple cracks to occur in an asynchronous manner as opposed to other models which allow fuel pellet cracking in only the first time step.
Coindreau et. al Model
The Coindreau et al. (2013) model is a function of the maximum linear heat rate and the rod average burnup: where is the number of radial cracks formed in fresh fuel subjected to a power at beginning of life, is the maximum linear heat generation rate experienced by the fuel in kW/m. Using the initial number of radial cracks calculated above, the number of radial cracks in irradiated fuel is determined by: where is the fuel pellet average burnup in MWd/kgHM. Notice that the above equations limit the maximum number of radial cracks to 16.
Walton and Matheson Model
The Walton and Matheson (1984) model computes the the number of radial cracks formed as a function of maximum linear heat rate and the ord average burnup. The number of cracks formed is computed by: where is the fuel pellet average burnup in MWd/kgHM. The term in the preceding equation is known as the Macaulay brackets defined by: where is the maximum linear heat generation rate experienced by the fuel in kW/m.
Elastic Constant Scaling
This model treats the cracked fuel pellet material as isotropic and assumes that the principle strains are conserved. (1) The relationship for the scaled isotropic elastic constants was determined by defining the squared deviation of the scaled and original stresses in the material and then averaging over the symmetric range of strain while minimizing the squared stress deviation value by Barani et al. (2019). For number of cracks, the isotropic elastic constants are (2)
(3)
If the number of cracks has changed from the previous time step, the updated scaled values of the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio are passed to the UO2ElasticityTensor class.

# This test verifies the calculation of the scaled Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio as a function
# of the number of cracks in the fuel, using the UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor class.
#
# The test is a single element unit cube which is pulled in the y direction
# with a pressure of 5.0e5 Pa. The power is ramped up, the temperature is held constant and fission
# rate within the cube is neglected. The number of cracks is computed by
# the Barani et al. model.
#
# Results:
# The strain in the x-direction can be calculated using the Young's modulus
# and the Poisson's ratio from the applied 0.5 MPa pressure.
# \f$ \epsilon_{rr} = v * \frac{\sigma_{axial}{E}} $/f

# This test verifies the calculation of the scaled Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio as a function
# of the number of cracks in the fuel, using the UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor class.
#
# The test is a single element unit cube which is pulled in the y direction
# with a pressure of 5.0e5 Pa. The power is ramped up, the temperature is held constant and fission
# rate within the cube is neglected. The number of cracks is computed by
# the Barani et al. model.
#
# Results:
# The strain in the x-direction can be calculated using the Young's modulus
# and the Poisson's ratio from the applied 0.5 MPa pressure.
# \f$ \epsilon_{rr} = v * \frac{\sigma_{axial}{E}} $/f
#
# The expected results for an increase in temperature under constant pressure:
# Linear Heating Rate (kW/m) number of cracks(-) strain_xx (m/m)

# This test verifies the calculation of the scaled Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio as a function
# of the number of cracks in the fuel, using the UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor class.
#
# The test is a single element unit cube which is pulled in the y direction
# with a pressure of 5.0e5 Pa. The power is ramped up, the temperature is held constant and fission
# rate within the cube is neglected. The number of cracks is computed by
# the Walton and Matheson model model. The burnup is increased from 0 to 120 MWd/kgU.
#
# Results:
# The strain in the x-direction can be calculated using the Young's modulus
# and the Poisson's ratio from the applied 0.5 MPa pressure.
# \f$ \epsilon_{rr} = v * \frac{\sigma_{axial}{E}} $/f
#
# The expected results for an increase in temperature under constant pressure:
# Linear Heating Rate (kW/m) number of cracks(-) strain_xx (m/m)
# 4 0 -8.624985e-7
# 5 0 -8.624985e-7

# This test verifies the calculation of the scaled Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio as a function
# of the number of cracks in the fuel, using the UO2IsotropicDamageElasticityTensor class.
#
# The test is a single element unit cube which is pulled in the y direction
# with a pressure of 5.0e5 Pa. The power is ramped up, the temperature is held constant and fission
# rate within the cube is neglected. The number of cracks is computed by
# the Coindreau et al. model. The burnup is increased from 0 to 120 MWd/kgU.
#
# Results:
# The strain in the x-direction can be calculated using the Young's modulus
# and the Poisson's ratio from the applied 0.5 MPa pressure.
# \f$ \epsilon_{rr} = v * \frac{\sigma_{axial}{E}} $/f
#
# The expected results for an increase in temperature under constant pressure:
# Linear Heating Rate (kW/m) number of cracks(-) strain_xx (m/m)
# 4 0 -8.624985e-7
# 5 0 -8.624985e-7
# 6 3.199995 -2.069207e-7
# 7 6.399990 -6.328530e-8
# 8 9.599986 -1.979693e-8
# 9 12.79998 -6.207866e-9
# 10 15.99998 -1.947156e-9
# 11 16 -1.947156e-9
# 12 16 -1.947156e-9
# 13 16 -1.947156e-9
# 14 16 -1.947156e-9
#
# The final two timesteps maintain a constant temperature to demonstrate that
# the elastic properties are constant under constant temperature
