“…Their work is currently limited to radial cracks, whilst our work using peridynamics is able to model a wide range of crack morphologies including branching. The need to model complex crack morphologies has been highlighted by Spencer et al's [38] recent experimental data. On the experimental side, Patnaik et al [39] performed experimental work heating UO 2 pellets resistively and observed cracking when the difference between the surface and centreline temperatures was around 200 K. In the peridynamics simulations in this work, the temperature difference at first cracking was around half this value.…”
