This volume contains 50 contributions presented at the symposium Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading . The symposium addressed the mechanisms, mechanics and modelling of thermal and thermal-mechanical load effects on conventional and advanced structural materials. The proceedings provide an update of the research efforts in thermal and thermal-mechanical fatigue. The papers cover a wide range of materials, including metallic alloys from steels to advanced superalloy single crystals, ceramics as well as composites. Topics encompass recent developments in specimen and component testing techniques, mechanisms and mechanics of inelastic deformation, crack initiation and crack growth, as well as damage modelling for life-time prediction. The book should be of interest to materials scientists, mechanical engineers and design engineers involved in the design of components for use at high temperatures.
