Experimental and numerical analysis of creep cracking under secondary and combined loading
The UK’s advanced gas-cooled reactor power plants contain welded components which were not stress relieved following fabrication. The presence of weld induced residual stresses, in combination with the plant operating under creep conditions and the material’s low creep ductility has caused cracks to...
