Description
The theory behind the relationship between dimensional change rate, the coefficient of thermal expansion, mechanical stress and irradiation creep is given. Some unexpected results related to elastic stress and the coefficient of expansion are presented. The reason for the change in the coefficient of thermal expansion with elastic and creep strain are postulated to be due to changes in shape and orientation of the graphite crystallites.
