Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range Second Edition The latest edition of the leading resource on elevated temperature design In the newly revised Second Edition of Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range, a team of distinguished engineers delivers an authoritative introduction to the principles of design at elevated temperatures. The authors draw on over 50 years of experience, explaining the methodology for accomplishing a safe and economical design for boiler and pressure vessel components operating at high temperatures. The text includes extensive references, offering the reader the opportunity to further their understanding of the subject. In this latest edition, each chapter has been updated and two brand-new chapters added—the first is Creep Analysis Using the Remaining Life Method, and the second is Requirements for Nuclear Components. Numerous examples are included to illustrate the practical application of the presented design and analysis methods. It also offers: A thorough introduction to creep-fatigue analysis of pressure vessel components using the concept of load-controlled and strain-deformation controlled limits An introduction to the creep requirements in API 579/ASME FFS-1 “Remaining Life Method” A summary of creep-fatigue analysis requirements in nuclear components Detailed procedure for designing cylindrical and spherical components of boilers and pressure vessels due to axial and external pressure in the creep regime A section on using finite element analysis to approximate fatigue in structural members in tension and bending Perfect for mechanical engineers and researchers working in mechanical engineering, Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students studying mechanical engineering, technical staff in industry, and industry analysts and researchers.

Creep-resistant steels are widely used in the petroleum, chemical and power generation industries. Creep-resistant steels must be reliable over very long periods of time at high temperatures and in severe environments. Understanding and improving long-term creep strength is essential for safe operation of plant and equipment. This book provides an authoritative summary of key research in this important area.The first part of the book describes the specifications and manufacture of creep-resistant steels. Part two covers the behaviour of creep-resistant steels and methods for strengthening them. The final group of chapters analyses applications in such areas as turbines and nuclear reactors.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Creep-resistant steels is a valuable reference for the power generation, petrochemical and other industries which use high strength steels at elevated temperatures. - Describes the specifications and manufacture of creep-resistant steels - Strengthening methods are discussed in detail - Different applications are analysed including turbines and nuclear reactors

Concrete is well known to behave efficiently in fire conditions, as it is incombustible, does not emit smoke, and provides good thermal insulation. Furthermore, in reinforced concrete structures, the concrete cover gives a natural protection to the reinforcement, and the size of the sections often delays the heating of the core, thus favouring the fire resistance of the structural members. In addition, concrete structures are often robust and therefore able to accommodate local damage without major consequences to the overall structural integrity. However, past experience with real fires shows that a thorough understanding of concrete behaviour and structural mechanics is still needed to improve the design of R/C structures with respect to fire. The objective of fib Bulletin 46 is to augment the current knowledge about concrete and concrete structures under fire, not only for the design of new structures, but also for the analysis and repair of existing fire-damaged structures. Both structural and materials issues are examined, and the results of the most recent research activities on the structural performance of concrete subjected to fire are reported. Special attention is paid to the indirect actions caused by the restrained thermal deformations and several basic examples show how a local fire influences global structural behaviour. fib Bulletin 46 is intended for use by practicing engineers to improve their understanding of the behaviour of concrete structures in fire and thereby produce better and safer design standards.

This monograph presents approaches to characterize inelastic behavior of materials and structures at high temperature. Starting from experimental observations, it discusses basic features of inelastic phenomena including creep, plasticity, relaxation, low cycle and thermal fatigue. The authors formulate constitutive equations to describe the inelastic response for the given states of stress and microstructure. They introduce evolution equations to capture hardening, recovery, softening, ageing and damage processes. Principles of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are presented to provide a framework for the modeling materials behavior with the aim of structural analysis of high-temperature engineering components.
