Acronyms and Definitions for Table 1.


DM - Degradation Mechanism (Physical Manifestation):
RE - Radiation Embrittlement, Material (reduced material elasticity and possible swelling)
TT - Thermal Transients (local shape deformation, buckling, surface cracking)
TASCS - Thermal Stratification Cycling and Striping (local distortions, surface cracking)
FIV - Flow Induced Vibrations (localized wear against support structures, distortions, surface
fatigue cracking)
SF - Self Welding and Fretting Fatigue (localized fusion, increased surface roughness, metal
transfer, deformations and fatigue cracking)
MF - Mechanical Fatigue (fatigue cracking, surface initiated micro-cracks, develops into deeper
cycle progressive cracks)
SCC - Stress Corrosion Cracking (high stressed area exposed to corrosive environment, surface
initiated cracking)
CF - Creep and Creep Fatigue (distortions, elongations, with plastic deformations, reduced
elasticity, surface cracking progressing with loads and time)
