The use of simplified Elastic-Perfectly Plastic (EPP) design methods avoids the complexities and limitations of the elastic analysis approach in evaluating strain limits and creep-fatigue damage for Class A metallic coolant boundary components in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 5, Subsection HB, Subpart B. No stress classification and linearization are required in the EPP methods. Further, the strain limits and creep-fatigue damage evaluation procedures based on elastic analysis results were developed for the reactor operating conditions where uncoupled, rate-independent plasticity and stationary creep can be used to approximate the deformation in the component adequately. But at very high temperatures, the deformation is rate-dependent, and it can only be approximated adequately by unified viscoplastic model. Thus, for example, the elastic analysis approach cannot be used to evaluate strain limits and creep-fatigue damage for Alloy 617 above 650 °C. The EPP methods remove the temperature restriction. They can be used to evaluate strain limits and creep-fatigue damage for the full range of temperatures.
