20 papers from leading experts on the thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue of structural alloys expose the deformation and damage mechanisms in thermo-mechanical fatigue in all materials.

Includes papers on the study of stress-strain response in a number of technologically important materials, damage mechanisms in thermo-mechanical fatigue (creep, oxidation effects), microscopic investigations of materials subjected to thermo-mechanical fatigue, life prediction under thermo-mechanical fatigue (including fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, initiation life approaches), solutions to thermo-mechanical fatigue problems in industry (including gas turbines, automotive engine, and novel experimental techniques for thermo-mechanical fatigue (high-frequency, multiaxial testing, and round robin results).

Audience: Researchers and engineers working in the field of high-temperature fatigue and life-time prediction.
