High Thermal Stress Components - Fatigue Life Prediction

Case study High thermal-stress components Fatigue life prediction THE CHALLENGE The feedwater nozzles inside most conventional and nuclear power station boilers exist within an environment of continuous high-pressure, and extreme temperature variations that can significantly reduce the fatigue life of even the most robust components (see Fig. 1). Throughout their operational life, they endure a range of transient loads,
