High Temperature Fracture Mechanics

This book systematically explains the mechanics of fracture phenomena, focusing on cracking under high temperature conditions. One of the defining characteristics of high temperature fracture is creep, a phenomenon where deformation progresses over time, eventually leading to failure. Additionally, the nonlinear nature further complicates the mechanics of such fracture. The book clarifies the fundamental principles of time-dependent nonlinear fracture mechanics associated with creep. Fatigu...
