Modeling High Temperature Materials Behavior for Structural Analysis - Part I: Continuum Mechanics Foundations and Constitutive Models

This monograph presentsapproaches to characterize inelastic behavior of materials and structures athigh temperature. Starting from experimental observations, it discusses basicfeatures of inelastic phenomena including creep, plasticity, relaxation, lowcycle and thermal fatigue.

The authors formulate constitutive equations to describe the inelastic responsefor the given states of stress and microstructure. They introduce evolutionequations to capture hardening, recovery, softening, ageing and damage processes.Principles of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are presented to provide aframework for the modeling materials behavior with the aim of structuralanalysis of high-temperature engineering components.

Summary

This monograph presents
approaches to characterize inelastic behavior of materials and structures at
high temperature. Starting from experimental observations, it discusses basic
features of inelastic phenomena including creep, plasticity, relaxation, low
cycle and thermal fatigue.

The authors formulate constitutive equations to describe the inelastic response
for the given states of stress and microstructure. They introduce evolution
equations to capture hardening, recovery, softening, ageing and damage processes.
Principles of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are presented to provide a
framework for the modeling materials behavior with the aim of structural
analysis of high-temperature engineering components.
