Creep and creep-corrosion, which are the most important degradation mechanisms in structures such as piping used in the nuclear, chemical and petroleum industries, have been studied. Sixty two creep equations have been identified, and further classified into two simple groups of…

Currently, titanium alloys are used in a variety of applications, including defense, aerospace, biomedicine, and even common consumer products such as bicycles and golf clubs. In many applications such as the landing gear of aircraft and geothermal energy production, titanium co…
Additive manufacturing methods have been developed from rapid prototyping techniques and are now being considered as alternatives to conventional techniques of manufacturing. Stereolithography is one of the main additive methods and is considered highly accurate and consistent. …
For microelectronics used in the low-temperature applications, the understanding of their reliability and performance has become an important research subject characterised as electronics to serve under the severe or extreme service conditions. Along with the impact from the inc…
Nickel base Alloy 617 has been identified to be a suitable structural material for heat exchanger applications in both hydrogen and electricity generation using nuclear heat. A maximum operating temperature of 950°C has been specified by department of energy (DOE) for both appli…
In high temperature components subjected to long term cyclic operation, simultaneous creep and fatigue damage occur. A new methodology for creep-fatigue life assessment has been adopted without the need to separate creep and fatigue damage or expended life. Probabilistic models,…
At room temperature, small creep effects are present on steel structures. This is not the case at fire condition where the temperature is much higher than room temperature; in this case creep can be significant, and should be taken into consideration. Since fire hazard can happe…
