The framework developed in this research strives to simultaneously make efficient inference along with associated risk, i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe class of 9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic alloys (FMA) and austenitic stainless steels have received considerable attention due to their numerous applications in high temperature power generation industries. To design high strength steels with prolonged service life requires a thorough understanding of the long-term properties, e.g.
