Abstract
At constant load and temperature the typical creep curve with primary portion AB, secondary portion BC and tertiary portion CD has the form shown in Figure 2.1. In the secondary portion the strain rate is approximately constant (“steady creep”). At the moment of loading the specimen obtains an instantaneous elastic or elastic-plastic strain ε0. The creep acceleration in the third portion depends on the brand of metal and on the temperature.
