Description
A short length of CAGR pin, where the clad had collapsed into an inter-pellet gap, has been sectioned and examined metallographically. Using a finite difference analysis to determine the position of the neutral surface, the tensile strains due to bending were estimated and found to be greater than the expected ductility. Despite this, damage to the clad was slight; the reasons for this apparent anomaly are discussed. (author)
