Component Reliability under Creep-Fatigue Conditions

Failure prevention, residual life assessment and life extension of materials in components operating at high temperatures are becoming increasingly important problems in the modern power plant industry. These problems are covered, and industrial examples will be introduced to illustrate the applications of those subjects covered using the results from service records.
