[ 1 ] - The Fracture Mechanics Concept of Creep and Creep/Fatigue Crack Growth in Life Assessment

There is an increasing need to assess the service life of components containing defect which operate at high temperature. This paper describes the current fracture mechanics concepts that are employed to predict cracking of engineering materials at high temperatures under static and cyclic loading. The relationship between these concepts and those of high temperature life assessment methods is ...
