The purpose of this study is to characterize and simulate the mechanical behaviour and failure of fresh, hydrided and irradiated (in pressurized water reactors) cold-worked stress relieved Zircaloy-4 fuel claddings under reactivity initiated accident conditions. A model is proposed to describe the anisotropic viscoplastic mechanical behavior of the material as a function of temperature (from 20°C up to 1100°C), strain rate (from 3.10-4 s-1 up to 5 s-1), fluence (from 0 up to 1026 n.m-2) and irradiation conditions. Axial tensile, hoop tensile, expansion due to compression and hoop plane strain tensile tests are performed at 25°C, 350°C and 480°C in order to analyse the anisotropic plastic and failureproperties of the non-irradiated material ...
