Constitutive behaviour of fusion-relevant steels in the post-necking regime is necessary for detailed design of future fusion device components. A Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU) procedure using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), a simulated DIC filter and novel constitutive law was developed. The effects of the DIC process and experimental nois…

The current paper reports the work of the EUROfusion Material Database and Handbook group within the MAT-EDDI (Materials – Engineering Data and Design Integration) subproject of the EUROfusion consortium. A special emphasis is put on the building of the EUROfusion RAFM steel database accounting around 3000 raw materials data records. A dat…

Eurofer 97 is the main structural material targeted for the DEMO reactors which will be operated under magnetic fields. It is therefore imperative to understand the effect of magnetic fields on the mechanical properties of the Eurofer 97. Here we preform 30 uniaxial tensile tests with and without a 1.5 T magnetic field at room temperature. The stat…

A comprehensive, standardised approach to high heat flux testing of materials is proposed, which allows for standardised data capture and comparison of measurements across global testing sites and setups. A meta-analysis of data for tungsten, with data re-captured in that format, highlights interesting trends with respect to appropriate damage metr…
