Performance of Bolting Materials in High Temperature Plant Applications


Book Description

Topics covered in this volume directly address the application and performance of bolting materials in high temperature plant. In such applications, bolts are often required to operate for long periods of time under high duty plant operational conditions. Performance and material reliability are, therefore, important factors in the selection of suitable alloys.




Performance of Bolting Materials in High Temperature Plant Applications


Book Description

This book discusses the technology of high-temperature bolting materials and the design considerations of high-temperature bolted joints. It is based on the second international conference on high-temperature creep resistant materials held in York.

Handbook of Structural Life Assessment


Book Description

This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.
