Abstract
A robust (simple and conservative) method for determining the creep life of a defect-free component subjected to uniform load and temperature is described. This method has been specifically developed for the components containing stress concentrators. It is called the UNSW-LIFE2 method and requires only the elastic stresses, the uniaxial creep rupture data and the steady-state creep solution for the plain component excluding stress concentrators; the latter is readily available from literature and is normally simple to calculate.
