Important advances in creep damage models for crack growth analysis have been made in
the last two decades as scientists and engineers strive to imbue continuum-based models …

In this paper, we have developed a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based
methodology for high cycle fatigue crack growth simulations. A fatigue damage law is …

AISI 316H stainless steel, which is a type of cryogenic temperature steel, has excellent
potential in the cryogenic engineering field. However, its performance at cryogenic …

The last few decades have witnessed an increasing emphasis on the development of strain-
based approach for predicting the creep life or damage of components operating at elevated …

Creep rupture can happen in two ways, brittle and ductile creep rupture. Brittle creep rupture
of austenitic stainless steels proceeds with the nucleation, growth and coalescence of grain …

Low-cycle fatigue tests were conducted at 650° C to investigate the cyclic deformation
behavior and damage mechanism of 316H stainless steel at various strain amplitudes …

In this paper, a strain-based damage model is developed to account the effect of different
strain ratios on the fatigue failure. Thereafter, continuum damage mechanics and extended …

Abstract 'Mind the gap'in Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment procedures was a workshop
held at The University of Manchester in June 2015. The goal of the workshop was firstly to …

The specimen geometry and constraint effects on the creep crack growth behaviour of Type
316H stainless steel at 550° C have been examined over a wide range of load levels using …

In this work, a numerical methodology is proposed to predict the creep response and creep
crack growth for functionally graded material/plastically graded material in the extended …
