Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This is a joint programme of work with Dr D J Smith of Bristol University. Experiments will be performed at Bristol to enable constitutive laws for 347 stainless steel to be developed and to develop an understanding of crack growth under creep/fatigue conditions. Theoretical and computational studies will be undertaken at Cambridge to determine crack tip stress and velocity fields corresponding to the conditions employed in the experimental measurable and theoretically deteminable fracture mechanics parameters. This study will culminate in a set of guidelines for the assessment of defective plants which have experienced creep/fatigue loading histories.
