PY - 2021 SN - 9179296963 PB - Linköping : Linkopings Universitet, DB - UniCat KW - Steam-turbines. KW - Steam power plants. UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:129679522 AB - This licentiate thesis by Ahmed Azeez focuses on the fatigue behavior of steam turbine steel, particularly the FB2 martensitic steel, under cyclic deformation and crack closure conditions. The research is part of an ongoing PhD investigation at Linköping University, aiming to improve fatigue life predictions for steam turbine components used in retrofitted thermal power plants. These components face different fatigue loading conditions due to flexible operations necessitated by the integration of renewable energy sources. The study investigates high-temperature fatigue life, cyclic deformation, stress relaxation, and crack propagation behaviors. The work contributes to the development of less conservative life prediction models, extending component life and providing economic benefits. The thesis is intended for researchers and professionals in solid mechanics and engineering. ER -
