L. H. Larsson is the editor of High Temperature Structural Design - ESIS Publication 12 - , published by Wiley.
Part 1 Design practice: current design practice for high temperature components in fossil power plants and chemical plants in Germany; designing steam turbines for transient thermal loading; design of gas turbine components; on-going developments in design methods and criteria for the LMFBR; design and construction rules for components of helium cooled high temperature reactors (HTR); design and evaluation of materials for space reactors; the R5 procedures - assessment of structural integrity at high temperatures. Part 2 Stress and strain analysis methods: structural analysis and available knowledge; rigorous inelastic analysis methods; simplified methods for the assessment of creep and plasticity effects in cyclic loading at high temperature; modelling of viscoplasticity and structural analysis of diesel cylinder heads; structural design of advanced aeroengine turbine blades. Part 3 Damage evaluation: creep-fatigue-oxidation interactions in materials for high temperature components; damage assessment of components experiencing thermal transients; creep continuum damage mechanics - a unifying theme in high temperature design; materials data requirements, creep damage mechanisms, and protective models; assessment procedure for defects in the creep range. Part 4 In-service experience: life of welds at high temperatures; the behaviour of welds in EDF fossil-fired power plants through typical examples in boilers; experience feedback on damage evaluation and residual life prediction on chemical and petrochemical plants; in service reliability assessment of high-temperature headers in fossil power plants; expert systems for creep damage assessment and header management.
