Fracture of Steel in Energy Machine Parts: High-Temperature Creep and Hydrogen Influence outlines modeling approaches for determining the effects of high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development in steam pipelines, steam turbine discs, heat exchange pipes, and steam boiler drums. The book starts by discussing the strength and durability of metallic materials and structural elements at volumetric damage, then at local damage, and finally at the end of residual life. It then presents models and algorithms for simulating the flow of these different phenomena (high-temperature creep, hydrogen diffusion, damage accumulation, and creep development) that occur at different speeds at different points in the volume of a structure. Different types of cracks are covered, including through cracks, internal cracks, surface cracks, and elliptical cracks.
- Presents computational models for evaluating the effects of creep, hydrogen, and high-temperatures on steel energy components
- Describes the kinetics of damage accumulation and crack growth
- Covers through cracks, internal cracks, surface cracks, and elliptical cracks
