Strain (ε) as a function of time due to constant stress over an extended period for a Class M material. Creep behavior can be split into three main stages. In primary, or transient, creep, the strain rate is a function of time. In Class M materials, which include most pure materials, primary strain rate decreases over time.
Source: [6] can be obtained by accelerated creep test in which strain is recirded, interpolating the data (,) (˙) = ˙ + (˙) When adopting the Omega Method for a remaining life assessment, it is sufficient to estimate the creep strain rate at the service stress and temperature by conducting creep tests on the material that has been exposed to service conditions.
Creep is dependent on time so the curve that the machine generates is a time vs. strain graph. The slope of a creep curve is the creep rate dε/dt [citation needed] The trend of the curve is an upward slope. The graphs are important to learn the trends of the alloys or materials used and by the production of the creep-time graph, it is easier ...
The Voigt model predicts creep more realistically than the Maxwell model, because in the infinite time limit the strain approaches a constant: =, while a Maxwell model predicts a linear relationship between strain and time, which is most often not the case.
When the stress is maintained for a shorter time period, the material undergoes an initial strain until a time , after which the strain immediately decreases (discontinuity) then gradually decreases at times > to a residual strain. Viscoelastic creep data can be presented by plotting the creep modulus (constant applied stress divided by total ...
L. M. Kachanov [5] and Y. N. Rabotnov [6] suggested the following evolution equations for the creep strain ε and a lumped damage state variable ω: ˙ = ˙ ˙ = ˙ where ˙ is the creep strain rate, ˙ is the creep-rate multiplier, is the applied stress, is the creep stress exponent of the material of interest, ˙ is the rate of damage accumulation, ˙ is the damage-rate multiplier, and is ...
Strain vs. Time graph for the three stages of creep. Strain slowly rises up and almost becomes constant from a constant stress on a viscoelastic material. Like cartilage, it will deform or strain, from constant stress. The strain deformation is slow, but eventually too much stress will increase it.
For strain less than the ultimate tensile strain, the increase of work-hardening rate in this region will be greater than the area reduction rate, thereby make this region harder to deform than others, so that the instability will be removed, i.e. the material increases in homogeneity before reaching the ultimate strain.
