Stress Levels

Creep and creep recovery data of 304 stainless steel are reported for experiments at low stress levels under combined tension and torsion at 593°C (1100°F). The data were represented by a viscous-viscoelastic model in which the strain was resolved into five components—elastic, plastic (time-independent), viscoelastic (time-dependent recoverable), and viscous (time-dependent nonrecoverable) which has separate positive and negative components. Only part of the creep strain at low stresses was recovered upon complete unloading following creep (as also found at high stresses), and each time-dependent strain data was well represented by a power function of time. But the stress dependence below a transition stress was approximately a linear relation with no creep limits and no cross effects such as were found in a previous analysis for higher stress levels above a transition stress. The transition stress for nonrecoverable strains agrees with the Frost-Ashby boundary between diffusional flow and dislocation creep. Aging decreased the creep rate and plastic strain. Results for different times of aging at 593°C (1100°F) under pure tension stresses were well represented by power functions of aging time up to 1000 h for each creep component and plastic strain.

Creep and creep-recovery data of 304 stainless steel are reported for experiments under constant combined tension and torsion at 593°C (1100°F). The data were represented by a viscous-viscoelastic model in which the strain was resolved into five components—elastic, plastic (time-independent), viscoelastic (time-dependent recoverable), and viscous (time-dependent nonrecoverable) which has separate positive and negative components. The data are well represented by a power function of time for each time-dependent strain. By applying superposition to the creep-recovery data, the recoverable creep strain was separated from the nonrecoverable. The form of stress-dependence associated with a third-order multiple integral representation was employed for each strain component. The time-dependent recoverable and nonrecoverable strains had different nonlinear stress dependence; but, the time-independent plastic strain and time-dependent nonrecoverable strain had similar stress-dependence. A limiting stress below which creep was very small or negligible was found for both recoverable and nonrecoverable components as well as a yield limit. The limit for recoverable creep was substantially less than the limits for nonrecoverable creep and yielding. The results showed that the model and equations used in the analysis described quite well the creep and creep-recovery under the stress states tested.

Creep Tests

Constant strain-rate plastic straining followed by creep tests were conducted to investigate the effect of prior plastic straining on the subsequent creep behavior of 304 stainless steel at room temperature. The effects of plastic strain and plastic strain-rate were delineated by a specially designed test procedure, and it is found that both factors have a strong influence on the subsequent creep deformation. A creep model combining the two factors is then developed. The predictions of the model are in good agreement with the test results.

This paper proposes a straightforward procedure to characterize the nonlinear viscoelastic response of asphalt concrete materials. Furthermore, a model is proposed to estimate the nonlinear viscoelastic parameters as a function of the triaxiality ratio, which accounts for both confinement and deviatoric stress levels. The simplified procedure allows for easy characterization of linear viscoelastic (LVE) and nonlinear viscoelastic (NVE) responses. First, Schapery’s nonlinear viscoelastic model is used to represent the viscoelastic behavior. Dynamic modulus tests are performed to calibrate LVE properties. Repeated creep-recovery tests at variable deviatoric stress levels (RCRT-VS) were designed and conducted to calibrate the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of four types of mixtures used in the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Airport Pavement and Materials Research Center test sections. The RCRT-VS were conducted at 55°C, 140 kPa initial confinement pressure, and wide range of deviatoric stress levels; mimicking the stress levels induced in a pavement structure under traffic. Once calibrated, the model was validated by comparing the model predictions and experimental measurements at different deviatoric stress levels. The predictions indicate that the proposed method is capable of characterizing NVE response of asphalt concrete materials.

Nonlinear constitutive equations for varying stress histories are developed and used to predict the creep behavior of 304 stainless steel at 593°C (1100°F) under variable tension or torsion stresses including reloading, complete unloading, step-up, and step-down stress changes. The strain in the constitutive equations (a viscous-viscoelastic model) consists of: linear elastic, time-independent plastic, time-dependent-recoverable viscoelastic, and time-dependent-nonrecoverable viscous components. For variable stressing, the modified superposition principle, derived from the multiple integral representation, and the strain hardening theory were used to represent the recoverable and nonrecoverable components, respectively, of the time-dependent strain. Time-independent plastic strains were described by a flow rule of similar form to that for nonrecoverable, time-dependent strains. The material constants of the theory were determined from constant stress creep and creep recovery data. Considerable aging effects were found and the effects on the strain components were incorporated in each strain predicted by the theory. Some modifications of the theory for the viscoelastic strain component under step-down stress changes were made to improve the predictions. The final predictions combining the foregoing features made satisfactory agreements with the experimental creep data under step stress changes.
