Abstract

It is known that the durability of materials is related to the conditions under which they are exploited, including the loading that they undergo. The material “durability-constant load” relation is known as Creep-Rupture Strength (CRS). It takes a long time to determine CRS experimentally, and it proves to be expensive. In this paper we check a method for predicting CRS under tension that employs data from short term tests. The results for loading under tension are compared with results for the same material subjected to bending.
