A novel test rig to study the effects of elastic follow-up, long range residual stress and applied load on creep crack initiation

One of the many challenges in the behaviour of structures is to understand if the presence of residual stress plays an important role in contributing to failure of a structure operating at high temperature. Structural integrity assessments of components operating at high temperature require an accur...
