Cables transmit signals and power in nuclear power plants. The primary material for the cable insulation is cross-linked polyethylene, which inevitably degrades due to thermal stress. The degradation can become a safety issue, since the brittleness of degraded cross-linked polyethylene may render the exposure of the metal core in a cable. Elongation at break is a widely accepted measurement, evaluating the degree of the brittleness of the insulation. Reaction- and diffusion-controlled kinetics are proposed in this article to quantitatively predict the decrease of the elongation at break as a function of time and temperature. The proposed approaches are based on dichotomy model and Fick’s Law to respectively define the degree of reaction- and diffusion-controlled degradation. Probabilistic techniques are developed by Bayesian parameter estimation to determine the reliability of the cable insulation. These approaches are validated by experimental data.

An internal crack is a common defect which can lead to failure of the material. There are few published studies which can quantitatively predict healed fractions under given conditions such as temperature, pressure and healing time. In the current study, a new crack healing kinetic model is developed to predict the healed crack fraction under any given temperature, pressure and healing time. In contrast to previous models, this new model describes the crack surface topography as a series of semi spherical pores, and proposes a new diffusion healing mechanism involving grain growth. Plastic deformation, power law creep and diffusion controlled creep mechanism are considered in this model. A crack healing diagram for 34MnV steel is constructed with axes of healed fraction and temperature or pressure. The predictions from the new model compare well with experimental results. The results of the model indicate that the diffusion controlled creep mechanism contributes little at high temperatures because of grain growth. The critical healing time and pressure can be determined by using the crack healing diagram.

AbstractPicosecond probe beam spectroscopy is used to measure the nonstationary contribution to diffusion controlled excimer formation in dependence on concentration and solvent viscosity. Utilizing a kinetic model, the effective encounter radius and diffusion parameters of pyrene molecules in different solvents have been determined.
