Feasibility study into the use of digital image correlation for creep strain monitoring of fossil power plant welds

The life span of high temperature power plant pipework is principally a function of material creep damage - an irreversible plastic deformation of the material when subjected to temperatures and loads beyond a certain threshold. Within Eskom, the South African parastatal power utility, creep damage...
