Hello, I would like studying the problem of fatigue on pressure vessel due to temperature changes.
I studied what occurs when pressure changes by Wholer Curves and Goodman Smith diagram. But I can't find out a book or document that explain this topic.
Can you suggest me something about that?

Try searching for technical papers on the topic of thermal fatigue. Start by looking at papers presented at the ASME PVP Conference and then expand that search to the ASME Journal on Pressur Vessel Technology.
 
There is nothing about thermal fatigue that would be specific to pressure vessels. Cyclic stresses cause fatigue, not temperature changes. The stresses caused by temperature changes is entirely dependent upon the materials, the specific geometry, temperature differences and rate of temperature change.
 
The theory of fatigue damage to pressure vessels was summarized and negotiated back in the year 2000 in the EU, as they were finalizing the european norms, such as EN 12952-3 annex C. It is suggested you review that code then review the background discussions that led to its adoption.
