THE EFFECTS OF FABRICATION INDUCED RESIDUAL STRESS-STRAIN STATES ON THE IRRADIATION PERFORMANCE OF MONOLITHIC MINI-PLATES

This article evaluates the initial stress-strain state of the monolithic fuel plates and their effects on the overall irradiation performance. The monolithic fuel is a proposed fuel form for high-performance research reactors to achieve higher uranium densities within the core to allow the use of low-enriched uranium fuel. These plate-type fuels consist of a high density low enrichment Uranium-Molybdenum alloy based fuel, a diffusion barrier made of Zirconium, and a cladding made of Aluminum. Because the fabrication of monolithic plates involves multiple stages and the foil material is subjected to various thermo-mechanical processes, a presence of significant stress-strain fields is likely. In addition, the choice of the fabrication process may also cause variations in the foil’s microstructure. There are interests if the overall irradiation performance could be affected by the different initial stress-strain state and the microstructural characteristics. To investigate these concerns, a representative plate was simulated for various initial stress-strain states. First, the co-rolling process for thickness reduction stage of the foil was simulated. For this, a scaled version of the process was evaluated to identify distinct stress profiles on the selected paths. These profiles were then used to define an initial state for the foil before Hot Isostatic Pressing. Additional HIP simulations were also performed to study the cases with stress-free foils prior HIP bonding. The purpose of these simulations was to mimic the stress relief treatment after co-rolling, which aims to remove the residual stresses and minimize the material anisotropy. For the HIP process with initially stress-free foil, several bonding temperatures were considered, including the nominal bonding temperature. The final case considered a plate without initial stresses and strains, assuming a hypothetical case in which the plate would be subjected to a post-fabrication heat treatment to relieve the process-induced stresses before irradiation. Finally, the irradiation processes were simulated for all the cases with distinct pre-irradiation stress-strain profiles. For all cases, the same irradiation parameters were used. The resulting distortions, stress-strain fields and temperature profiles were gathered on selected locations. Finally, a comparative evaluation was made to determine the sensitivity to the pre-irradiation stress-strain variations. The irradiation simulations have revealed that fabrication induced stresses in fuel would be relieved quickly due to large irradiation creep strain. The results indicated that the stress-strain behavior of the fuel foil is not affected significantly by the fabrication process. It is important to note that this excludes microstructural characteristics, which may have important implications on overall behavior. In the cladding however, the stresses continue increase and additional plastic strains are generated. This is due to irradiation hardening by fast neutrons. Additional stresses and strains are formed in the cladding as a result of displacements caused by the volumetric swelling of the fuel foil.

Heave Plate Hydrodynamic Coefficients for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines - A Compilation of Data

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's OpenFAST software is utilized by academics and industry professionals alike to simulate offshore wind turbines. The software's modeling of hydrodynamic loads on heave plates attached to these structures relies on user-specified hydrodynamic coefficients. To guide the proper selection of these coefficients and potentially develop a new functionality within OpenFAST that automatically prescribes and/or adjusts the heave-plate hydrodynamic coefficients, we review past literature to examine the dependence of the added mass, damping, and drag coefficients on various relevant nondimensional parameters, including the Keulegan-Carpenter number, the frequency parameter, and the plate thickness ratio. Existing data in the literature show strong dependence of the hydrodynamic coefficients on the Keulegan-Carpenter number. We observe consistent trends across a range of different plate geometry, plate porosity, and flow conditions. Secondary dependence of the coefficients on the frequency parameter and plate thickness ratio is also present.

Development of Diamond Membrane-Based X-Ray Optics: Fresnel Zone Plates, Beam Stops, and Grids

This project was proposed to develop the design and fabrication of zone plates for hard X-ray focusing up to 25 keV photon energies with 20 nm resolution (with zone doubling), based on diamond membranes. The benefits of using diamond are: improved mechanical robustness which among other advantages prevents collapse of high-aspect-ratio ring structures, a known high-aspect-ratio etch method, and excellent compatibility with other processes, excellent radiation hardness, extremely low X-ray absorption, and significantly improved thermal/dimensional stability as compared to alternative materials. The Phase I findings enable Phase II goals as well as significant progress in other diamond-membrane devices, such as diamond-supported X-ray optics (beam stops, apertures, phase shift disks for phase contrast X-ray microscopy, grids, resolution targets, coded apertures for coherence measurements, etc), X-ray windows and membrane–based detectors. Zone plates with outermost zones of 60 nm were written in 500 nm electron resist and transferred to a depth of up to 1.8 mm (exceeding the expectations) into a stack of engineered multilayer ultra-nano-crystalline diamond alternating non-conductive and conductive layers. The active material for focusing was added on top (Au and Ir). Several processes were investigated and validated to enable in Phase II the enhancement of the thickness of the structures, including polishing the over-plated zone plates and growing diamond on top of Ir-coated zone plates without the destruction of the nanostructures underneath. The zone plates were geometrically characterized.

Evaluation of Erosion of the Dummy “EE” Plate 19 in YA Type ATR Fuel Element During Reactor PALM Cycles

Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Cycle 153B-1 was a 14-day, high-power, powered axial locator mechanism (PALM) operating cycle that completed on April 12, 2013. Cycle 153B-1 was a typical operating cycle for the ATR, and did not result in any unusual plant transients. ATR was started up and shut down as scheduled. The PALM drive physically moves the selected experiments into and out of the core to simulate reactor startup and heat up, and shutdown and cooldown transients, while the reactor remains in steady-state conditions. However, after the cycle was over, when the fuel elements were removed from the core and inspected, several thousand flow-assisted erosion pits and “horseshoeing” defects were readily observed on the surface of the several YA-type fuel elements (these are aluminum “dummy” plates that contain no fuel). In order to understand these erosion phenomena, a thermal-hydraulic model of coolant channel 20 on a YA-M fuel element was generated. The boundaries of the model were the aluminum EE plate of a YA-M fuel element and a beryllium reflector block with 13 horizontal saw cuts which represented regions of zero flow. The heat generated in fuel plates 1 through 18 was modeled to be passing through the aluminum EE plate. The coolant channel 20 width was set at 0.058 in. (58 mils). It was established that the horizontal saw cuts had a significant effect on the temperature of the coolant. The flow, which was expected to vary linearly with gradual heating of the coolant as it passed through the channel, was extremely turbulent. The temperature rise, which was expected to be a smooth “S” curve, was represented by a series temperature rise “humps,” which occurred at each horizontal saw cut in the beryllium reflector block. Each of the 13 saw cuts had a chamfered edge which resulted in the coolant flow being re-directed as a jet across the coolant channel into the surface of the EE plate, which explained the temperature rise and the observed scalloping and pitting degradation on the YA-M fuel elements. In the case of scalloping (horseshoeing) a surprising similarity of that defect to those appearing on aluminum plate rolled in over-lubrication conditions, were established. In turn, this made us think that the principal feature responsible for the appearance of these defects, was horizontal cuts in the beryllium reflector block created to arrest the propagation of large vertical crack(s) in Be in PALM cycles with higher overall fluence. This assumption was fully confirmed by the results of thermo-hydraulic simulations. The neutronics data for these modeling experiments were provided using advanced irradiation simulations (MCNP, HELIOS). In the case of pitting erosion the following corrective measures were proposed based upon the results of JMatPro v.8.2 modeling (TTT- and CCT-diagrams): change the fabrication process by adding blister anneal before program anneal, immediately after cold rolling of AA6061plate. This step will allow achieving complete recrystallization, eliminating of strengthening due to metastable precipitates, and reduce the possibility of forming sharp microstructural features upon the surface.

Wakefields of a Beam near a Single Plate in a Flat Dechirper

At linac-based, X-ray free electron lasers (FELs), there is interest in streaking the beam by inducing the transverse wakes in a flat dechirper, by passing the beam near to one of its two jaws. For LCLS-II - as has already been done for LCLS-I - this way of using the dechirper will e.g. facilitate two-color and fresh slice schemes of running the FEL. With the beam a distance from the near wall of say b ~ 0.25 mm and from the far wall by ≳ 5 mm, the second wall will no longer affect the results. The physics will be quite different from the two plate case: with two plates the impedance has a resonance spike whose frequency depends on the plate separation 2a; in the single plate case this parameter no longer exists. Formulas for the longitudinal, dipole, and quadrupole wakes for a beam off-axis between two dechirper plates, valid for the range of bunch lengths of interest in an X-ray FEL, are given in reference 3. By taking the proper limit, we can obtain the corresponding wakes for a beam close to one dechirper plate and far from the other. This is the task we perform in this note.

Thermal Model of Oxide Growth for Full Size Fuel Plate Experiments in the Advanced Test Reactor

The full-size plate number one (FSP-1) irradiation test designed for irradiation testing of plate type fuel is planned to be irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This FSP-1 experiment is a non-instrumented drop-in test where aluminum-clad fuel plates are cooled directly by the ATR Primary Coolant System (PCS) water. This experiment is one of a series of experiments being irradiated at ATR for the United States High Performance Research Reactor (USHPRR) program. This fueled experiment contains aluminum-clad fuel full-size plates consisting of monolithic U-10Mo. Previous thermal analyses have been documented concerning oxide growth [1] and thermal safety margins [2] for similar U-10Mo mini plate experiments. This analysis is part of the thermal safety analysis of the experiment to be irradiated in ATR. Departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) and flow instability ratio (FIR) have been calculated for the flow coastdown condition 2 and the reactivity insertion accident condition-2 (RIA2) transient. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermal margin of the fuel meat during a RIA2 transient when oxide has accumulated on the plate surfaces acting as an insulator.

Computational Design of a Simple Flyer Plate Launcher

The response of materials to shock loading is important to understand for a variety of applications. When shock physics emerged during and after WWII, direct explosive loading or explosively driven plate impact was the primary tool for these studies. Subsequent decades have seen the widespread use of large caliber guns for plate impact studies, laser-shock facilities and pulsed power facilities. INL currently lacks a gun suitable for plate impact or explosives casting and machining facilities; however, it does possess explosives use and handling capabilities. An option for performing plate impact experiments was needed, therefore continuum scale models were utilized to explore a few simple donor-acceptor explosive plane wave lens designs, one of which could be hand packed with plastic explosives to launch flyer plates. 2D simulations were performed to study different geometries in an effort to minimize the difference in shock arrival across the central portion of a small copper flyer plate. A shock wave arrival time difference under 50 ns across 50 percent of the center of the flyer was achieved with a few designs. This work summarizes the computational models and results.

Complementary Measurements of Residual Stresses Before and After Base Plate Removal in an Intricate Additively-Manufactured Stainless-Steel Valve Housing

Residual stress measurements using neutron diffraction and the contour method were performed on a valve housing made from 316 L stainless steel powder with intricate three-dimensional internal features using laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing. The measurements captured the evolution of the residual stress fields from a state where the valve housing was attached to the base plate to a state where the housing was cut free from the base plate. Making use of this cut, thus making it a non-destructive measurement in this application, the contour method mapped the residual stress component normal to the cut plane (this stress field is completely relieved by cutting) over the whole cut plane, as well as the change in all stresses in the entire housing due to the cut. The non-destructive nature of the neutron diffraction measurements enabled measurements of residual stress at various points in the build prior to cutting and again after cutting. Good agreement was observed between the two measurement techniques, which showed large, tensile build-direction residual stresses in the outer regions of the housing. The contour results showed large changes in multiple stress components upon removal of the build from the base plate in two distinct regions: near the plane where the build was cut free from the base plate and near the internal features that act as stress concentrators. These observations should be useful in understanding the driving mechanisms for builds cracking near the base plate and to identify regions of concern for structural integrity. Neutron diffraction measurements were also used to show the shear stresses near the base plate were significantly lower than normal stresses, an important assumption for the contour method because of the asymmetric cut.

Study of the force coefficients on plates using an open source numerical wave tank

An open source numerical wave tank based on the OpenFOAM® software was setup and tested to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. This work focused on submerged plates because of their simple geometry, their importance as a design component (e.g., heave plates), and the broad availability of published experimental results. Two-dimensional plates in an oscillatory flow, as well as three-dimensional circular disks and square plates undergoing forced oscillations were simulated in conditions where the nonlinearity of hydrodynamic viscous drag and inertia forces can be probed easily. The effect of plate thickness as well as the ability of the numerical simulations to predict wave radiation damping at shallow plate submergence were also considered. Overall, force coefficient predictions were very satisfactory when compared to experimental data, and generally exhibited less scatter. Here, the influence of both Keulegan-Carpenter number and frequency parameter on the hydrodynamic force could be assessed as well from these numerical simulations as from past laboratory experiments.

Tuning Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formation before Plating Onset in Anode-Free Sodium Batteries

Sodium (Na) batteries are of growing interest due to the higher earth abundance of sodium than lithium, as well as their promising theoretical energy density when metallic Na anodes are used. However, Na plating and stripping are heavily influenced by the physicochemical properties of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which is directly influenced by the solvent and salt used for the electrolyte. While most studies focus on the SEI that forms on the surface of Na metal after plating, we expand this analysis by identifying a nanoscale “pre-plating” SEI that forms on the current collector (CC) prior to the onset of Na plating. Here, we systematically investigate an array of Na salt and glyme solvents in the electrolyte and determine the associated impacts on pre-plating SEI formation on aluminum CCs. By combining analytical electrochemistry approaches with a multimodal suite of spectroscopy techniques (X-ray, infrared, and Raman), supported by density functional theory calculations, we reveal a direct correlation between the Na + coordination environment and pre-plating SEI composition. We find that longer-chain glymes produce larger proportions of organic alkoxide products in the interphase, consistent with increased Na + −glyme interactions, while the fraction of salt-derived inorganic products (e.g., NaF) correlates with Na + −anion coordination. These insights highlight the critical influence of electrolyte composition particularly solvent identity and Na + coordination on the initial SEI formation in anode-free Na batteries.

Onboard early detection and mitigation of lithium plating in fast-charging batteries

Fast-charging is considered as one of the most desired features needed for lithium-ion batteries to accelerate the mainstream adoption of electric vehicles. However, current battery charging protocols mainly consist of conservative rate steps to avoid potential hazardous lithium plating and its associated parasitic reactions. A highly sensitive onboard detection method could enable battery fast-charging without reaching the lithium plating regime. Here, we demonstrate a novel differential pressure sensing method to precisely detect the lithium plating event. By measuring the real-time change of cell pressure per unit of charge (dP/dQ) and comparing it with the threshold defined by the maximum of dP/dQ during lithium-ion intercalation into the negative electrode, the onset of lithium plating before its extensive growth can be detected with high precision. In addition, we show that by integrating this differential pressure sensing into the battery management system (BMS), a dynamic self-regulated charging protocol can be realized to effectively extinguish the lithium plating triggered by low temperature (0 °C) while the conventional static charging protocol leads to catastrophic lithium plating at the same condition. We propose that differential pressure sensing could serve as an early nondestructive diagnosis method to guide the development of fast-charging battery technologies.

Multiscale dynamics of charging and plating in graphite electrodes coupling operando microscopy and phase-field modelling

The phase separation dynamics in graphitic anodes significantly affects lithium plating propensity, which is the major degradation mechanism that impairs the safety and fast charge capabilities of automotive lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we present comprehensive investigation employing operando high-resolution optical microscopy combined with non-equilibrium thermodynamics implemented in a multi-dimensional (1D+1D to 3D) phase-field modeling framework to reveal the rate-dependent spatial dynamics of phase separation and plating in graphite electrodes. Here we visualize and provide mechanistic understanding of the multistage phase separation, plating, inter/intra-particle lithium exchange and plated lithium back-intercalation phenomena. A strong dependence of intra-particle lithiation heterogeneity on the particle size, shape, orientation, surface condition and C-rate at the particle level is observed, which leads to early onset of plating spatially resolved by a 3D image-based phase-field model. Moreover, we highlight the distinct relaxation processes at different state-of-charges (SOCs), wherein thermodynamically unstable graphite particles undergo a drastic intra-particle lithium redistribution and inter-particle lithium exchange at intermediate SOCs, whereas the electrode equilibrates much slower at low and high SOCs. These physics-based insights into the distinct SOC-dependent relaxation efficiency provide new perspective towards developing advanced fast charge protocols to suppress plating and shorten the constant voltage regime.

Aperture-based antihydrogen gravity experiment: Parallel plate geometry

An analytical model and a Monte Carlo simulation are presented of an experiment that could be used to determine the direction of the acceleration of antihydrogen due to gravity. The experiment would rely on methods developed by existing antihydrogen research collaborations. The configuration consists of two circular, parallel plates that have an axis of symmetry directed away from the center of the earth. The plates are separated by a small vertical distance, and include one or more pairs of circular barriers that protrude from the upper and lower plates, thereby forming an aperture between the plates. Antihydrogen annihilations that occur just beyond each barrier, within a “shadow” region, are asymmetric on the upper plate relative to the lower plate. The probability for such annihilations is determined for a point, line and spheroidal source of antihydrogen. The production of 100,000 antiatoms is predicted to be necessary for the aperture-based experiment to indicate the direction of free fall acceleration of antimatter, provided that antihydrogen is produced within a sufficiently small antiproton plasma at a temperature of 4 K.

Simultaneous inference of plate boundary stresses and mantle rheology using adjoints: large-scale 2-D models

SUMMARY Plate motions are a primary surface constraint on plate and mantle dynamics and rheology, plate boundary stresses and the occurrence of great earthquakes. Within an optimization method, we use plate motion data to better constrain uncertain mantle parameters. For the optimization problem characterizing the maximum a posteriori rheological parameters we derive gradients using adjoints and expressions to approximate the posterior distributions for stresses within plate boundaries. We apply these methods to a 2-D cross section from the western to eastern Pacific, with temperature distributions and fault zone geometries developed primarily from seismic and plate motion data. We find that the best-fitting stress exponent, n, is about 2.8 and the yield stress about 100 MPa or less. The normal stress on the interplate fault zones is about 100 MPa and the shear stresses about 10 MPa or less.

Europium-doped barium chloride storage phosphor plate synthesized by pulsed laser deposition

In computed radiography, scattering of the stimulation light by the storage phosphor crystals in the imaging plates negatively impacts spatial resolution. Storage phosphor plates with thinner phosphor layers have been developed to reduce scattering distance and increase spatial resolution, although at the expense of reduced x-ray absorption. The authors hypothesize that a transparent or translucent nanostructured film, containing a much higher percentage of storage phosphor crystals than achievable in bulk glass-ceramic materials made by conventional methods, may have acceptable photostimulated luminescence efficiency and imaging performance characteristics greater than commercial imaging plates. Films were produced via pulsed laser deposition by alternating target materials of the storage phosphor BaCl 2 :Eu 2+ and either silica or silicon. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence characterization were conducted to confirm the presence of BaCl 2 :Eu 2+ crystallites. The films were able to store optical data and be read out to produce x-ray radiographs demonstrating 50-mu m spatial resolution. The performance of the experimental storage phosphor plates was compared to commercially available imaging plates. The authors demonstrate for the first time the synthesis of a glass-ceramic imaging plate for computed radiography by pulsed laser deposition.

TH-C-19A-09: Quantification of Transmission and Backscatter Factors as a function of Distance to Inhomogeneity Interface for Three Types of Surgical Implant Plates

Purpose: Carbon fiber materials have been increasingly used clinically, mainly in orthopedics, as an alternative to metallic implants because of their minimal artifacts on CT and MRI images. This study characterizes the transmission and backscatter property of carbon fiber plates (CarboFix Orthopedics, Herzeliya, Israel) with measurements for radiation therapy applications, and compares them to traditional Stainless Steel (SS) and Titanium (Ti) metal materials. Methods: For the transmission measurements, 1-mm-thick test plate was placed upstream from a plane parallel Markus chamber, separated by various thicknesses of polystyrene plates in 0.5 cm increments between 0 and 5 cm. With this setup, we quantified the radiation transmission as a function of distance to the inhomogeneity interface. The LINAC source to detector distance was maintained at 100 cm and 200 MU was delivered for each measurement. Two 3-cm solid water phantoms were placed at the top and bottom to provide build up. All the measurements were performed for 6 MV and 18 MV photons. The backscatter measurements had the identical setup, except that the test plate was downstream of the chamber from radiation. Results: The carbon fiber plates did not introduce any measureable inhomogeneity effect on the transmission and backscatter factor because of its low atomic number. In contrast, traditional metal implant materials caused up to 15% dose difference at upstream and 25% backscatter at downstream from radiation. Such differences decrease as the distance to the inhomogeneity interface increases and become unmeasurable at distance of 3 cm and 1 cm for upstream and downstream, respectively. Conclusion: A new type of carbon fiber implant plate was evaluated and found to have minimal inhomogeneity effect in MV radiation beams. Patients would benefit from a carbon based implant over metal for radiation therapy due to their minimal backscatter and imaging artifacts.

Stable Lithium Plating in “Lithium Metal-Free” Solid-State Batteries Enabled by Seeded Lithium Nucleation

In the “Li 0 -free” architecture, cells are manufactured with a bare anode current collector and the Li metal anode is plated in situ during the first charging step. While this architecture has many attractive qualities from manufacturing and energy density perspectives, stable Li plating in solid-state “Li 0 -free” cells can be challenging. It is generally accepted that the Li overpotential affects Li homogeneity in “Li 0 -free” cells. We demonstrate that the nucleation overpotential for Li plating in solid-state “Li 0 -free” cells using commercial current collectors can be eliminated by introducing metal clusters that guide Li nucleation. Au is used as model alloying metal cluster. Here, we demonstrate stable Li plating with thickness 16.5 μ m (3.3 mAh cm −2 ) in oxide solid-state electrolyte “Li 0 -free” cells enabled by Au metal clusters. It is shown that 97% of the in situ plated Li can be reversibly stripped at 60 °C and 2.5 MPa. Conversely, Au interlayers which are flat and continuous instead of clustered in morphology consistently showed short-circuiting during in situ Li plating, limiting Li electrodeposition to <0.1 mAh cm −2 . These results can help guide future studies of Li nucleation and growth at solid/solid interfaces, as well as offer alternative manufacturing pathways for “Li 0 -free” solid-state batteries.
