Cyclic plasticity and creep of power plant materials

The thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) of power plant components is caused by the cyclic operation of power plant due to startup and shutdown processes and due to the fluctuation of demand in daily operation. Thus, a time-dependent plasticity model is required in order to simulate the component respons...
