| Abstract Scope |
Materials in systems for energy production, transportation and use often encounter harsh environments including exposure to environments such as gases that can react with the material and impact its mechanical properties. Within the Mechanical Behavior and Radiation Effects Program at DOE-BES, we support research to better understand the fundamentals of environmental impacts on the structure and properties of materials. The researchers apply high-end analytical tools and sophisticated computational models to uncover the fundamental mechanisms of environmentally assisted cracking. This talk will provide an overview of these projects and discuss future opportunities as well as DOE-BES research priorities in this important topical area. |
