As the energy demand increases the power industry has to enhance both efficiency and environmental sustainability of power plants by increasing the operating temperature. The accurate creep fatigue life assessment is important for the safe operation and design of current and future power plant stations. This paper proposes a practical creep fatigue life assessment case of study by the Linear Matching Method (LMM) framework. The LMM for extended Direct Steady Cycle Analysis (eDSCA) has been adopted to calculate the creep fatigue responses due to the cyclic loading under high temperature conditions. A pipe intersection with dissimilar material joint, subjected to high cycling temperature and constant pressure steam, is used as an example. The closed end condition is considered at both ends of main and branch pipes. The impact of the material mismatch, transitional thermal load, and creep dwell on the failure mechanism and location within the intersection is investigated. All the results demonstrate the capability of the method, and how a direct method is able to support engineers in the assessment and design of high temperature component in a complex loading scenario.

Stress invariants approach to the multiaxial fatigue life estimation is generally based on the root mean square value of second invariant of the deviatoric stress amplitude and the value of hydrostatic stress. Such an approach omits a significant part of the information about multiaxial load history. It is particularly noticeable in case of non-proportional loadings, which lead to a reduction of fatigue life (i.e. [1–3]). In this work a new method based on the mean value of modified second invariant of the deviatoric stress has been presented.
