FEMU based identification of the creep behavior of Zircaloy-4 claddings under simulated RIA thermo-mechanical conditions

Measuring both thermal and kinematic full-fields using a single CMOS camera during high temperature tests

“…Only the results of the 590 first seconds of the test were sought here. The heating rate was too high to obtain a perfect temperature ramp and a sharp transition at the temperature plateau, but this is even more interesting to have this richer data for identification proposes [27]. It can be observed that the pyrometer data matches well the NIR thermography all test long.…”
