Computational Methods in Creep Life Prediction of Power Plant Materials
Moon Ki Kim, Sungkyunkwan University
Seung Tae Choi, Chung-Ang University
In high-temperature thermal power plants, creep damage is one of the major failures. Hence, it is very important to predict creep life more accurately in order to operate power plants safely for their designed lifetime. In this mini-symposium, we would like to welcome the recent advances on creep life prediction methods. Our current interests include, but not limited to, i) creep damage evaluation/estimation from in-service components, ii) computational analysis of creep-fatigue damage, and iii) validation and verification of creep life prediction results.
