ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional phase-field simulations of void swelling in the Austenitic stainless steel were performed for irradiated materials. A numerical model was established for void swelling with an implementation of the elasticity effect, and we examined the roles of the applied stress and grain boundary sink strength and Frenkel defect recombination in determining the void swelling rate. The obtained results were compared with the existing experimental observations.
