Abstract: Continuum damage theory has proven to be an effective tool in creep damage simulation. In order to establish some mechanical principles for life extension of components at elevated temperature, ...

Abstract: Creep deformation localization is a common occurrence generally found in high temperature components, typically at weldments and geometrical discontinuities. The deformation in a small region cannot ...

Abstract: The brazed plate-fin structure is the key component of a compact plate-fin heat exchanger. The residual stresses and thermal deformation induced by vacuum brazing may bring negative effects on ...

Abstract: This paper presented a finite element analysis of the effect of brazed residual stress on creep for stainless steel plate-fin structure using finite element code ABAQUS . The as-brazed residual ...
