WRC 390 Failure of Welds at Elevated Temperatures

Bulletin / Circular by Welding Research Council, Inc., 1994

G. R. Stevick

Full Description

This thesis presents several new insights into creep crack growth problems: 1) the potential for stress concentrations resulting from the mismatch of creep properties between weld and base metals, 2) a creep crack growth model that includes the effects of stress triaxiality, and 3) a crack initiation model based on the statistical distribution of inclusion size and spacing.
