Abstract: Based on fracture mechanics, the creep crack growth (Creep crack growth, CCG) of P92 steel under the high temperatures was simulated and analyzed with different in-plane constraint effects. The study discovers that different constraint effects have an important influence for the behavior of CCG. The influence of specimen geometric shape, size and initial crack depth, especially their coupling constraintson on the behavior of CCG were analyzed. To compare the characteristics of the behavior of CCG under various coupling constraints, some results were found as follow. The effect of specimen geometry on the behavior of CCG is greater than the geometric size, and the effects of specimen size and the initial crack depth on the behavior of CCG are similar. The effects of specimen geometry on the behavior of CCG is greater than the initial crack depth.
