Toute action extérieure de faible intensité qui s'exerce sur un matériau élastique le déforme et provoque par là même une réaction du matériau égale et opposée à l'action appliquée. En tout point intérieur apparaissent alors des déformations et des contraintes locales, dont on peut affirmer, en vertu de la loi de Hooke, qu'il existe entre elles des relations de proportionnalité. Cela permet de définir des modules d'élasticité, rapports entre contraintes et déformations, caractéristiques du matériau envisagé. 4, record 2, French, - module%20d%27%C3%A9lasticit%C3%A9

Strength and Young's modulus of pyrolytic silicon carbide(SiC) were measured. The specimens were the ringed SiC which were taken from TRISO coated fuel particles for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors(HTGR). Four kinds of unirradiated specimens and the two of irradiated ones were prepared for the measurement. The SiC coating layer consisting of columnar structure with large crystal grains(about 5 m) was stronger than the SiC of laminar structure with small grains(less than 1 m). 1, record 3, English, - coating%20layer
