Author Description

This book has documented the design and development of the time related high temperature constitutive theory for Chromium Steels. Chromium steels are mostly utilized in structural components such as steam pipes, turbine generators and reactor pumps operating at high temperatures from 400℃ to 700℃ in nuclear power plants. This book contributes to computational damage mechanics in general and particularly to the design and development of a constitutive model for the stress and strain analysis of Chromium alloys under long-term service.
