β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes a model used to represent the cyclic mechanical behaviour of P91 martensitic steel. Low cycle fatigue tests were conducted at 600 C using a thermo-mechanical fatigue test machine. A unified, Chaboche viscoplasticity model, was used to model the behaviour of the steel. The microstructure of the steel at different life fractions of the tests was investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscope images. The viscoplasticity model, with two stages of softening period, has resulted in better prediction capability for the cyclic behaviour of the steel for an initially undamaged material prior to crack initiation.

Cylindrical specimens of 12% CrMoV steel were tested under high temperature, low cycle fatigue (HTLCF) conditions to investigate the growth of microcracks which nucleate at the surface. Results are presented which indicate that the microcracks maintain an equilibrium shape under HTLCF conditions, ma
The energy-based approach for the evaluation of low cycle fatigue behaviour of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel at elevated temperature has been investigated and detailed analyses discussed. Plastic strain energy was determined per cycle and found to characterise both crack initiation and propagation to failure reg
