Full Description
This brilliant treatise is based on extensive experimental and technological data derived from high-temperature materials development processes. The distinguished authors analyse results from the development of nuclear reactors and aerospace rocket engines. They apply this data to the problem of bearing capacity and the fracture of thermally loaded bodies. They establish new regularities of fracture at various modes of local and combined thermal loading.
