Summary
The effect of severe cyclic thermal loading on the plastic and creep deformation of shell structures may be understood through the use of shakedown theory and its extension to time dependent material properties. The paper discusses methods of estimating shakedown limits, deformation in excess of shakedown, and steady state creep strain rates using solution technique based on this theory with the objective of forming a broad understanding of the material and structural phenomena involved. The incentive for this work arises from problems associated with the structural design of the U.K. Commercial Sodium Cooled Fast-Breeder Reactors.
