The extended GLOSS method of analysis has been presented here that leads to conservative bounds on inelastic local strains. Consequently, the local region constraint parameter is determined which can be used to evaluate multiaxial stress relaxation, creep damage, low-cycle fatigue, and elastic-plastic fracture. The method is used to determine inelastic local strains for several component configurations, subjected to mechanical as well as thermal loadings, and then compared with the corresponding inelastic FEA results.
