Influence parameters on the irradiation induced change in the Young's modulus investigated for the graphitic matrix for spherical fuel elements are discussed. The irradiation behaviour is compared with that of gilsocarbon graphite.

The fracture of single crystal gallium arsenide (GaAs) semi-conducting wafers was studied. Prismatic beam specimens, cut at different crystallographic orientations from thin wafers, were loaded to failure in four-point bending. Fracture in these crystals occurred predominantly on the { 1 IO} family
Ahstraet--A modified criterion is developed on an empirical basis for the minimum thickness Brain of a plane strain fracture toughness test specimen: B.,. = 400 g~o Ecq. where K~, is the plane strain fracture toughness, E is the Young's modulus and ~r~, is the yield stress of the material. The modi
