1. Research interests: probabilistic methods,
creep assessments and high temperature
structural integrity.

3. Plant component case-study: header tubeplate ligament
3
3rd October 2016
Failure mechanism:
Creep-fatigue, large thermal
transients and over heating
caused by tube restrictions
Stress state:
Large thermal stress gradient
due to temperature
differences between tubes
joint by the ligament.
Potentially complex stress
state and temperature history.
