This paper is the first part of a two part paper. It describes the concepts of shakedown at elevated temperatures that form the foundation for proposed rules described in the second paper for extension of fatigue design rules in Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 slightly into the creep range. These proposed rules use shakedown concepts and a cycle limit as a basis for exemption from fatigue analysis.
