Creep and fracture of engineering materials and structures

These proceedings relate to the diverse range of theoretical and practical problems associated with the performance of materials and structures under stress for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures. Included are sections on mechanisms of creep, fracture of particle strengthened alloys, creep fracture of steels, creep crack growth and the high temperature behaviour of welds and ceramics. New experimental, analytical and computational methods are surveyed. (U.K.)
