Abstract:In this study, a novel multiscale combined creep strain and creep rupture model is proposed. By comparing to experimental data it was shown that the model provides accurate creep rupture predictions for unidirectional off-axis specimens. The creep strain model provides accurate predictions within the confines of the linear elastic restrictions used in its development. This creep strain and creep rupture model was incorporated into a progressive failure finite element simulation so that the effects of load redi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
