nodules will be formed on the zircalloys due to corrosion.Due to strain incompatibilities nodules impose stresses in the metal as well as in the nodules formed.diffusion of oxygen into metal will be effected by stress generated,there by it is coupled mechanical and diffusional phenomenon.Objective of my study will be computing the stresses generated during nodule formation and determining the critical positions that initiate damage  in the nodule as well as metal.

please suggest some documents relating to the above phenomenon?
