... of plastics and polymers. To predict the creep life of such components, one necessary ingredient is a creep damage model. The current creep damage models are either too cumbersome to be readily employed and/or not sufficiently accurate for practical applications. This paper describes a new multiaxial creep...

...Hiroaki Hatanaka; Nobukazu Ido; Takuya Ito; Ryota Uemichi; Minoru Tagami; Hirokatsu Nakagawa Boiler piping of fossil-fuel combustion power generation plants are exposed to high-temperature and high-pressure environments, and failure of high-energy piping due to creep damage has been a concern...

...Xiang Ling; Shan-Tung Tu; Jian-Ming Gong Continuum damage theory has proven to be an effective tool in creep damage simulation. In order to establish some mechanical principles for life extension of components at elevated temperature, a numerical scheme based on the localized creep damage theory...
