A Study of the Creep Damageability of Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

  • Published:
Strength of Materials Aims and scope

The creep damageability and long-term strength of a tubular solid oxide fuel cell are studied. The method for the solution of the initial boundary value problem of creep and damageability is based on the joint application of the R-function and the Runge-Kutta–Merson methods. An example of the calculation of the creep and long-term strength of a Siemens-Westinghouse fuel cell is given.
