Titanium a lloys have been found that the fatigue strength of Ti alloys decreases due to cold dwell fatigue (CDF) at room temperature. Ti and Ti alloys generate creep deformation at room temperature (T/Tm = 0.15). Thus, it is considered that creep affects the reduction in fatigue life in CDF tests. This research intends to clarify the effects of long time dwell under tensile stress and rupture life prediction from the view of creep deformation in CDF characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V. Rupture cycle decreased with increase of dwell time. Additionally, lower limit of rupture life ratio “NCDF/NLCF” was defined from rupture in creep test if it was assumed that creep test was extremely long time dwell CDF test. When strain change in whole dwell time was extracted in CDF tests, strain change was like creep curves and minimum creep rate changed depending on dwell time. Minimum creep rate was calculated by the formula based on experimental results, and then rupture time was calculated by Monkman-grant relationship. All of rupture cycle predictions were in factor of 2. Therefore, rupture cycle and time can be calculated if dwell time is known in CDF tests.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the creep deformation behavior and microstructural degradation during creep of pre-strained 25Cr-20Ni-Nb-N steel (TP310HCbN), which has the highest creep strength among austenite stainless steels used for boiler tubes. The creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials tested at 650°C under 210 MPa and 180 MPa were higher than those of solution-treated materials. However, the long time creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials tested at 700°C and 750°C were lower than those of solution-treated materials. Thus, the creep strengths of the prestrained materials depend on test temperature and stress. Furthermore, the minimum creep rate of the 20% pre-strained materials and re-solution-treated materials tested at 650°C under 300MPa were 1.2 × 10−9 and 1.6 × 10−8 s−1, respectively. Thus, the minimum creep rate of the 20% pre-strained materials was lower than for re-solution-treated materials. The creep strengthening mechanism of the pre-strained materials at 650°C was considered to be that high-density dislocations were maintained until the late stage of creep. On the other hand, the creep rupture strengths of the 20% pre-strained materials were lower than those of solution-treated materials tested at over 700°C because of agglomeration and coarsening of precipitates and the recovery of dislocations.

It is often necessary to assess the effect of aging at room temperature over years/decades for hardware containing elastomeric components such as oring seals or shock isolators. In order to determine this effect, accelerated oven aging at elevated temperatures is pursued. When doing so, it is vital that the degradation mechanism still be representative of that prevalent at room temperature. This places an upper limit on the elevated oven temperature, which in turn, increases the dwell time in the oven. As a result, the oven dwell time can run into months, if not years, something that is not realistically feasible due to resource/schedule constraints in industry. Measuring activation energy (Ea) of elastomer aging by test methods such as tensile strength or elongation, compression set, modulus, oxygen consumption, etc. is expensive and time consuming. Use of kinetics of weight loss by ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) using the Ozawa/Flynn/Wall method per ASTM E1641 is an attractive option (especially due to the availability of commercial instrumentation with software to make the required measurements and calculations) and is widely used. There is no fundamental scientific reason why the kinetics of weight loss at elevated temperatures should correlate to the kinetics of loss of mechanical properties over years/decades at room temperature. Ea obtained by high temperature weight loss is almost always significantly higher than that obtained by measurements of mechanical properties or oxygen consumption over extended periods at much lower temperatures. In this paper, data on five different elastomer types (butyl, nitrile, EPDM, polychloroprene and fluorocarbon) are presented to prove that point. Thus, use of Ea determined by weight loss by TGA tends to give unrealistically high values, which in turn, will lead to incorrectly high predictions of storage life at room temperature.

The creep deformation and damage evolution of nickel base superalloy (Waspaloy) at 700 °C are studied using the classic Kachanov–Rabotnov (KR) and a recently developed Sin-hyperbolic (Sinh) model. Uniaxial creep deformation and Bridgman rupture data collected from literature are used to determine the model constants and to compare the KR and the Sinh solutions. Finite-element (FE) simulations on a single eight-node element are conducted to validate the accuracy of the FE code. It is observed that KR cannot predict the creep deformation, damage, and rupture life of nickel base superalloys accurately using one set of constants for all the stress levels. The Sinh model exhibits a superior ability to predict the creep behavior using one set of constants for all the stress levels. Finite-element analysis (FEA) on 3D Bridgman notched Waspaloy specimen using the Sinh model is conducted. The results show that the Sinh model when combined with a representative stress equation and calibrated with experimental data can accurately predict the “notch effect” observed in the rupture life of notched specimen. Contour plots of damage evolution and stress redistribution are presented. It is demonstrated that the Sinh model is less stress sensitive, produces unconditional critical damage equal to unity at rupture, exhibits a more realistic damage distribution around the crack tip, and offers better crack growth analysis than KR.

An experimental investigation into ratcheting strain and stress-strain hysteresis loop in stress-controlled cyclic tensile tests at room temperature was performed to determine the effect of loading frequency on the cyclic mechanical behavior of highdensity polyethylene (HDPE). It was found that frequencies ranging from 0.01 Hz up to 1 Hz mostly affects the accumulated strain over related time scales (i.e that of the cycle itself) and not over long time scale (i.e. during the full test). In addition, the higher the frequency is, the more closed and vertical the loops are. Furthermore, the frequency affects only on the kinetics of stabilization of ratcheting strain but not on one of hysteresis loop.

Creep deformation property of Grade T91 steels over a range of temperatures from 550 to 625°C was analyzed by means of the empirical creep equation reported in the previous study [1]. The creep equation consists of four time dependent terms and one constant and time to rupture is estimated as a time to total strain of 10%. Accuracy of the creep equation to represent creep curve and to predict time to rupture and minimum creep rate was indicated. Times to minimum creep rate, total strain of 1%, initiation of tertiary creep and rupture were evaluated by the creep equation. Stress dependence of strains at minimum creep rate and the initiation of tertiary creep were analyzed. Contribution of four time dependent terms to the strains at minimum creep rate, total strain of 1% and initiation of tertiary creep was investigated. Three parameters to determine a temperature and time-dependent stress intensity limit, St, were compared and a dominant factor of St was examined. Heat-to-heat variation of the creep deformation property was investigated on two heats of T91 steels contain low and high nickel concentrations.

This study presents the long time effects of varying temperature conditions on pH-responsive films deposited on glass slides. The films were fabricated from Brilliant Yellow and poly (allylamine hydrochloride) through ionically self-assembled monolayer technique using an automated slide strainer. The absorbance of the films was monitored and the effect of varying temperature on the optical properties of the films was studied. We found that as the films are maintained at increasing temperatures their absorbance slightly decreased. As the temperature increased the percent change decreased reaching a plateau. Films kept at low temperatures of 3.24 °C and below freezing (-9.02 °C) had a small increase in absorbance. Finally, we monitored the absorbance of films kept at room temperature over a long time (128 days) and found that the films showed decreased absorbance by 19%.
