Material Properties Testing of ITER First Wall Components: 45 degree Joint Testing Cu/SS Crack Propogation Stress Analysis


Investigators: Kevin Leedy, Michael R. James, Min Jie, Jay Collins

The following links are connected to gif images of ANSYS output of a 2D 45degree joint of Cu/SS.

The first link of each group will show the three crack lengths (0.65, 1.0 and 1.3mm) in contrast. Each graphic is then linked to a close up image view of the respective joint area.

The crack links on this page send the viewer directly to the zoomed images of each specific crack length.

XY Shear Stress

von Mises Stress

X-Dimensional Stress

Y-Dimensional Stress

1st Principal Stress

2nd Principal Stress

These graphics were created by Min Jie using ANSYS 5.3
