High Temperature Component Life Assessment [Hardcover]

The aim of this book is to investigate and explain the rapid advances in the characterization of high temperature crack growth behaviour which have been made in recent years, with reference to industrial applications. Complicated mathematics has been minimized with the emphasis placed instead on finding solutions using simplified procedures without the need for complex numerical analysis.1 Introduction.- 2 Processes of deformation and fracture at high temperatures.- 3 Stress analysis of uncracked bodies.- 4 Stress analysis of cracked bodies.- 5 Models for creep crack initiation and growth.- 6 Creepfatigue crack growth.- 7 Experimental determinations of high temperature crack growth.- 8 Practical applications.GPSR ComplianceThe European Union's (EU) General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a set of rules that requires consumer products to be safe and our obligations to ensure this.If you have any concerns about our products you can contact us on ProductSafety@springernature.com.In case Publisher is established outside the EU, the EU authorized representative is:Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbHEuropaplatz 369115 Heidelberg, GermanyProductSafety@springernature.com
