Description | Better understanding of fracture in materials that are difficult to quantify (concrete, cement, graphite, bones etc). This has helped design improved materials and structures and aided less conservative assessment of damaged objects. |
Exploitation Route | Improved design and less conservative (but reliable) assessment of materials and structures. |
Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Construction,Energy,Environment,Healthcare,Government, Democracy and Justice,Security and Diplomacy,Transport |
Description | Helped inform safe operation of nuclear reactors by understanding behaviour of reactor core and structural materials |
