Many refractory articles undergo repeated thermal and mechanical loadings in service. As a result of this, cyclic thermomechanical stresses develop which lead to the destruction of the articles. The questions of predicting fatigue (durability) and ensuring the operational reliability of the articles during cyclical loading in most cases at present remain open [i].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
