Precipitation hardened Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr) alloy is a prime candidate for divertor components in future European DEMOnstration (DEMO) fusion reactors. To develop the DEMO Design Criteria In-vessel Components (DDC-IC), failure criterion of CuCrZr needs to be investigated. Hence, effects stress triaxiality and loading strain rate on fracture solution heat treated annealed alloys we...

A trabecular bone tissue with its complex microstructural morphology can demonstrate a and random pattern of fracture. This paper analyses the effect material’s mechanical behaviour on failure modelling human bone. For this purpose, 3D unit cell was obtained from scans distal tibia performed high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). In simulations, two types fractur...
