International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 168, 269-288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpvp.2018.10.020

The trend in power generation to operate plant with a greater frequency of on/partial/off load conditions creates several concerns for the long term structural integrity of many high temperature components. The Green's function method has been used f...

© 2018 Packed bed thermoclines have attracted considerable interest as an economical method for storing large amounts of thermal energy. They are a constituent part of a range of proposed thermo-mechanical energy storage systems, such as Adiabatic Co... Read More about Stability of packed bed thermoclines.

A case study investigation into the effects of spatially dependent convection coefficients on the fatigue response of a power plant header component (2018)
Journal Article
Rouse, J., Zacharzewski, P., Hyde, C., Jefferson-Loveday, R. J., Morris, A., & Kyaw, S. (2018). A case study investigation into the effects of spatially dependent convection coefficients on the fatigue response of a power plant header component. International Journal of Fatigue, 113, 137-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2018.03.032

Societal and environmental pressures are forcing thermal power plant operators to deviate greatly from the generation strategies of the past. The application of high frequency start up/shut down/partial load cycles to components that may well be outs...

A thermodynamically-based viscoelastic-viscoplastic model for the high temperature cyclic behaviour of 9-12% Cr steels (2018)
Journal Article
Benaarbia, A., Rouse, J. P., & Sun, W. (2018). A thermodynamically-based viscoelastic-viscoplastic model for the high temperature cyclic behaviour of 9-12% Cr steels. International Journal of Plasticity, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijplas.2018.03.015

Improving the understanding of the long term rate dependent behaviour of materials is of critical importance in many engineering applications. Without this understanding, it is potentially difficult to ensure safe and effective plant operation while...
