Materials science bibliography

Original 1972 thesis, University of Missouri-Rolla. Its abstract reports a pure-nickel lattice parameter of $0.352389\mathrm{nm}$ at $25^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$, from X-ray measurements: scholarsmine.mst.edu/masters_theses/5049/ .

Second edition, volume1, 1963. The magnesium parameters reproduced in Crystallography Open Database entry9008506 are $a=0.320927\mathrm{nm}$ and $c=0.521033\mathrm{nm}$: www.crystallography.net/cod/9008506.html . These independently documented values do not identify which data-book edition accompanied an examination.

Author-maintained online text: solidmechanics.org . Section3.12 discusses single-crystal plasticity, tensile-axis rotation and the relationship between secondary slip and hardening: solidmechanics.org/Text/Chapter3_12/Chapter3_12.htm

The inspected official PDF identifies itself as a book for Engineering Tripos materials courses. Printed p.6 gives fracture-mechanics formulas. It has not been established as the Data Book supplied for the2018NSTMaterials examination, so its generic material ranges must not be presented as exact historical exam values.

Journal of Nuclear Materials 367–370, pp.954–959. The official laboratory abstract describes pressurized-tube measurements separating irradiation creep, void swelling, precipitation and plastic strain. The source's full title continues “Irradiated as Pressurized Tubes in the EBR-II Fast Reactor”.

An official technical note explaining Charpy impact test transition curves. Section2 describes absorbed energy, lateral expansion and fracture-appearance measures of the ductile-to-brittle transition.

Nature 211, pp.291–292. The accessible abstract discusses reduced high-temperature ductility, thin-foil observations of bubbles and a helium embrittlement mechanism involving grain boundaries. The abstract was inspected; the subscription-only full article was not required for the stated claim.

Program announcement describing development of doped oxide, silicide and alternative cladding concepts with work planned through 2021.

NRC discussion of high-burnup fuel damage and the established peak-cladding-temperature and oxidation criteria.

Journal of Nuclear Materials 47, 187–197. The abstract describes autoradiographs of RAPSODIE-irradiated pins and effects of thermal diffusion, evaporation–condensation and oxygen chemistry.

Atomistic construction and relaxation of several loop types in zirconium, examining orientation, energy and shape.

Nature 216, 575–576. The opening description identifies Dounreay-irradiated type316 specimens and thin-foil electron microscopy.

The course examples connect material performance indices to materials selection charts; the shaft and flywheel examples identify carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers among candidates with high specific strength. Their numerical properties concern specified examples and should not be treated as universal beam compression allowables.
