A non-linear, inelastic stress analysis code, developed at the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (MDAC), was modified to incorporate irradiation effects in the analysis of stress histories within fusion reactor structural components. This code calculates stresses and strains due to temperature gradients, thermal creep, irradiation creep, and differential swelling as a function of neutron wall load and fluence.
