Thermo-mechanical fatigue

ID: thermo-mechanical-fatigue

Thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) is a type of fatigue that occurs in materials due to the combined effects of mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations. It is particularly relevant in engineering applications where components are subjected to cyclic loading while experiencing varying thermal conditions, such as in gas turbines, engines, heat exchangers, and other high-temperature systems.
