A comparison of simple methods to incorporate material temperature dependency in the Green’s function method for estimating transient thermal stresses in thick-walled power plant components

The threat of thermal fatigue is an increasing concern for thermal power plant operators due to the increasing tendency to adopt “two-shifting” operating procedures. Thermal plants are likely to remain part of the energy portfolio for the foreseeable future and are under societal pressures to genera...
