High temperature structural design

Part 1 Design practice: current design practice for high temperature components in fossil power plants and chemical plants in Germany designing steam turbines for transient thermal loading design of gas turbine components on-going developments in design methods and criteria for the LMFBR design and construction rules for components of helium cooled high temperature reactors (HTR) design and evaluation of materials for space reactors the R5 procedures - assessment of structural integrity at high temperatures. Part 2 Stress and strain analysis methods: structural analysis and available knowledge rigorous inelastic analysis methods simplified methods for the assessment of creep and plasticity effects in cyclic loading at high temperature modelling of viscoplasticity and structural analysis of diesel cylinder heads structural design of advanced aeroengine turbine blades. Part 3 Damage evaluation: creep-fatigue-oxidation interactions in materials for high temperature components damage assessment of components experiencing thermal transients creep continuum damage mechanics - a unifying theme in high temperature design materials data requirements, creep damage mechanisms, and protective models assessment procedure for defects in the creep range. Part 4 In-service experience: life of welds at high temperatures the behaviour of welds in EDF fossil-fired power plants through typical examples in boilers experience feedback on damage evaluation and residual life prediction on chemical and petrochemical plants in service reliability assessment of high-temperature headers in fossil power plants expert systems for creep damage assessment and header management.
