Abstract Information on mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, fracture toughness and fatigue strength of materials is important in designing structures and components used at ambient temperatures (see Chap. 9 in this Volume of the Source Books). However, for high-temperature applications such as in power plants, petrochemical industries and aeroengines, data on the mechanical behaviour of materials at elevated temperatures are required. This chapter discusses creep deformation and fracture mechanisms of alloys, experimental determination of creep and stress rupture properties and various methods for the prediction of these properties. In addition, other aspects of high-temperature mechanical behaviour are briefly considered, namely creep–fatigue interactions; thermal and thermomechanical fatigue; dwell cracking; and creep crack growth.
