  2. Creep and shrinkage of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_and_shrinkage_of...

    In practice, creep during drying is inseparable from shrinkage. The rate of creep increases with the rate of change of pore humidity (i.e., relative vapor pressure in the pores). For small specimen thickness, the creep during drying greatly exceeds the sum of the drying shrinkage at no load and the creep of a loaded sealed specimen (Fig. 1 bottom).

  3. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    The phenomenological equation which describes Harper–Dorn creep is = where ρ 0 is dislocation density (constant for Harper–Dorn creep), D v is the diffusivity through the volume of the material, G is the shear modulus and b is the Burgers vector, σ s, and n is the stress exponent which varies between 1 and 3.

  4. Constitutive equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive_equation

    The first constitutive equation (constitutive law) was developed by Robert Hooke and is known as Hooke's law.It deals with the case of linear elastic materials.Following this discovery, this type of equation, often called a "stress-strain relation" in this example, but also called a "constitutive assumption" or an "equation of state" was commonly used.

  5. Larson–Miller relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larson–Miller_relation

    F.R. Larson and J. Miller proposed that creep rate could adequately be described by the Arrhenius type equation: r = A ⋅ e − Δ H / ( R ⋅ T ) {\displaystyle r=A\cdot e^{-\Delta H/(R\cdot T)}} Where r is the creep process rate, A is a constant, R is the universal gas constant , T is the absolute temperature , and Δ H {\displaystyle \Delta ...

  6. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Short-duration forces (such as wind or earthquakes) do not cause creep. Creep can sometimes reduce the amount of cracking that occurs in a concrete structure or element, but it also must be controlled. The amount of primary and secondary reinforcing in concrete structures contributes to a reduction in the amount of shrinkage, creep and cracking ...

  7. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    Under tensile stress, plastic deformation is characterized by a strain hardening region and a necking region and finally, fracture (also called rupture). During strain hardening the material becomes stronger through the movement of atomic dislocations. The necking phase is indicated by a reduction in cross-sectional area of the specimen.

  8. Infinitesimal strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_strain_theory

    In continuum mechanics, the infinitesimal strain theory is a mathematical approach to the description of the deformation of a solid body in which the displacements of the material particles are assumed to be much smaller (indeed, infinitesimally smaller) than any relevant dimension of the body; so that its geometry and the constitutive properties of the material (such as density and stiffness ...

  9. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    A primary creep stage, also known as transient creep, is the starting stage during which hardening of the material leads to a decrease in the rate of flow which is initially very high. ( 0 ≤ ε ≤ ε 1 ) {\displaystyle (0\leq {\boldsymbol {\varepsilon }}\leq {\boldsymbol {\varepsilon }}_{1})} .
