Methods for Creep Rupture Analysis—Previous Attempts and New Challenges

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
From Creep Damage Mechanics to Homogenization Methods

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 64))

  • 1972 Accesses

Abstract

The chapter presents selected methods of creep analysis with special emphasis on damage development. It is divided into three main sections. In the first one some previous methods of creep rupture analysis are described. The attention is focused on certain kind of uniaxial creep characterisation of materials, namely, an influence of prior deformation on creep behaviour. Subsequently, the results from creep tests under complex stress states are presented together with theoretical approaches commonly used to their description. In the second section a comprehensive historical survey concerning advances in modelling of creep constitutive equations is discussed. The third section illustrates selected new concepts of damage development due to creep on the basis of data captured from the own experimental programme.
