The creep behavior of a Twaron CT709® fabric/natural rubber composite under a uniaxial constant stress is studied using three viscoelasticity models with different levels of complexity and a newly developed para-rheological model. The three models employed are a one-term generalized Maxwell (GMn = 1) model (consisting of one Maxwell element and an additional spring in parallel), a two-term generalized Maxwell (GMn = 2) model (including two parallel Maxwell elements and an additional spring in parallel), and a four-parameter Burgers model. The values of the parameters involved in each model are extracted from the experimental data obtained in this study. The creep tests reveal that the axial strain starts to increase exponentially during the primary stage and then continues to equilibrate linearly with time. The results show that the initial creep response of the composite is predicted fairly well by the GMn = 2 model, while the secondary creep is more accurately described by the GMn = 1 model. An implicit solution, together with a characteristic retardation time spectrum, obtained using the para-rheological model is found to provide more accurate predictions of the composite creep response than the three viscoelasticity models at both the primary and secondary stages.

The stress relaxation behavior of a Twaron CT709® fabric/natural rubber composite under a uniaxial constant strain is studied using three viscoelasticity models with different levels of complexity and a newly developed para-rheological model. The three viscoelasticity models employed are a one-term generalized Maxwell model (comprising one Maxwell element and an additional spring in parallel), a two-term generalized Maxwell model (including two Maxwell elements and an additional spring in parallel), and a four-parameter Burgers model. The values of the parameters involved in each model are extracted from the experimental data obtained in this study. The stress relaxation tests reveal that the stress starts to decay exponentially for a short duration and then continues to decrease linearly with time. It is found that the initial relaxation response of the composite is predicted fairly well by all of the four models, while the long-time stress relaxation behavior is more accurately predicted by the para-rheological model. The accuracy of each model in describing the stress relaxation behavior of the composite is quantitatively compared.

The creep response is obtained for an inhomogeneous beam, with simple end supports, resting on a liquid foundation and subjected to a sinusoidally distributed load. The Norton-Bailey constitutive equations are used to describe secondary creep behavior and elastic effects are retained. The liquid foundation is taken as a continuous Winkler support. The beam cross section is replaced by a double-membrane model. The implications are discussed of using stress or deflection failure criteria in determining the magnitude of the instantaneous breakthrough load. The linear viscoelastic as well as nonlinear creep beam response is obtained explicitly. The influence of the beam geometric and material characteristics and of the presence of the liquid foundation on the growth of the deflections with time is discussed. The variation of the breakthrough load with failure time is also explored. Results obtained are compared with available sea ice laboratory test data.

Creep behavior for Alloy 617, which is considered as one of the major structural materials of a very high temperature reactor, was investigated in air at 950oC. Creep experimental data was obtained by a series of creep tests with different stress levels at 950oC. Alloy 617 revealed little primary creep strains and unclear secondary creep stages. A tertiary creep stage was initiated from a low strain level and was dominant in full creep curves. The creep constants of A, n, m, and C in Norton’s power law and Monkman-Grant relationships were determined. In microstructure observations of crept specimens, it was found that a Cr2O3 oxidation layer was formed on the surface, and just beneath the Cr2O3 layer, an internal Al-oxide sub layer was formed with rod shapes. Also, below the internal sub layer, a thick carbide-depleted zone was developed due to reaction of the chromia and carbide precipitates. The thickness of the outer Cr-oxide layer increased with increasing creep rupture times. The increasing tendency showed a smooth slope like a parabolic curve.

A superalloy is an alloy developed for elevated temperature service, where relatively severe mechanical stressing is encountered, and where high surface stability is frequently required. High temperature deformation of Ni-base superalloys is very important since the blades and discs of aero engine turbine, because need to work at elevated temperature for an expected long period. The nickel-base alloy Inconel 718 has being investigated because it is one of the most widely used superalloys. The objective of this work was to evaluate the creep behavior of the Inconel 718 focusing on the determination of the experimental parameters related to the primary and secondary creep states. Constant load creep tests were conducted with at 650, 675 and 700°C and the range of stress was from 625 to 814 MPa to according to ASTM E139 standard. The relation between primary creep time and steady-state creep rate, obeyed the equation for both atmospherics conditions at 650, 675 and 700°C. The microstructural characterization employing the technique of scanning electron microscopy has been a valuable tool for understanding the mechanisms of creep.

Refractory materials are subjected to thermomechanical loads during their working life, and consequent creep strain and stress relaxation are often observed. In this work, the asymmetric high temperature primary and secondary creep behavior of a material used in the working lining of steel ladles is characterized, using uniaxial tension and compression creep tests and an inverse identification procedure to calculate the parameters of a Norton-Bailey based law. The experimental creep curves are presented, as well as the curves resulting from the identified parameters, and a statistical analysis is made to evaluate the confidence of the results.

The interactive marine-terrestrial (IMT) deposit soils were formed in the complex depositional environment; their mechanical properties are different from the other deposits. The creep behaviors of Dalian clayey soils were studied according to one-dimensional creep tests and drained triaxial creep tests. Based on the creep test results, the empirical model was established to describe the one-dimensional creep behavior and triaxial creep behavior, respectively. The results showed that Dalian deposits have typical nonlinear creep behavior. With the increasing of consolidation pressure, the strain is increased, the stability time is extended, and the demarcation point between primary and secondary consolidation is more obvious. The deposits belong to medium to high secondary compressibility soil, and the secondary consolidation coefficient is decreased with the increasing of consolidation time and increased with consolidation pressure increasing. The ratio between secondary consolidation coefficient and compression index at different depths changes from 0.033 to 0.058, which conform to Mesri conclusion. Under low deviator stress, the creep processes showed the characteristic of attenuation creep and shear contraction. However, it showed the characteristic of acceleration creep, shear contraction, and shear dilatancy under damage deviator stress. The axial strain rate decreased with the increasing of creep time and increased with the deviator stress increasing, while the deviator stress has little effect on the m values. The tests results agree well with the calculation results, which showed that the creep equation is suitable for describing the creep behaviors of Dalian interactive marine-terrestrial deposits.

Abstract Creep refers to the deformation of rock with time under long-term applied stress, which occur in most underground engineering. The creep behavior of granite in Shuang jiangkou underground powerhouse in Western Sichuan Province, China, was studied by creep tests. Based on test results, a new parameter DPR, the ratio of deviatoric stress to peak strength, is proposed. DPR is found to be a key parameter to describe creep parameters such as instantaneous elastic modulus, creep elastic modulus, and viscosity coefficient of rock under different confining pressures. Creep tests show that instantaneous elastic modulus increases with the increase of DPR. Creep elastic modulus increases when DPR changes from 0.54 to 0.7004, but decreases when DPR is from 0.7004 to 0.88, indicating fractures in rock closes firstly and then new fractures are generated. The viscosity coefficient of the rock increases first and then decreases with the increase of DPR, and when DPR = 0.7171, viscosity coefficient is maximum, indicating the time for rock to reach stability is the longest in creep tests. By introducing DPR and confining pressure into creep model, which interconnect creep parameters in a unified expression, an improved generalized Kelvin creep model is proposed which can accurately describe the primary and the secondary creep behavior of granite under given deviatoric stresses and confining pressures.

Uniaxial compressive creep tests were conducted on saturated samples of six fine-grained frozen soils. The creep behavior of the soils with respect to variation in the creep stress, temperature, and total water content is examined. The test results indicate existence of a unique relationship between the secondary creep rate, [Formula: see text], and the time to the onset of the secondary creep stage, ts, which is dependent only on the soil type. The values [Formula: see text], ts, and the initial strain rate are found to be directly related to the relative creep load (creep stress to peak strength ratio) acting on the soil. Results indicate these relationships to be independent of temperature. A method of analysis is presented whereby the creep behavior of a fine-grained frozen soil at various stresses, temperatures, and total water contents can be predicted, using data from a few creep tests conducted at only one reference temperature and total water content. A secondary creep model is introduced that predicts the creep behavior reasonably well in fine-grained frozen soils. The results obtained from this study are of importance to practicing engineers. Key words: fine grained, frozen soils, creep, load, temperature, water content, compressive strength, creep model.

Natural rubber composite foam with carbon such as carbon black (CB), carbon synthesized from durian bark (CDB), graphite (GPT), graphene oxide (GO), graphene (GPE) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was studied in this work to investigate the relationship between foam formation during decomposition of chemical blowing agent mechanism and crosslink reaction of rubber molecules by sulphur. Natural rubber composite foam with carbon particle was set at 3 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) to observe the effect of carbon allotropes on foam formation with different microstructure and properties of natural rubber composite foam. The balancing of crosslink reaction by sulphur molecules during foam formation by the decomposition of chemical blowing agent affects the different morphology of natural rubber foam/carbon composites leading to the different mechanical and thermal properties. The result showed the fastest cure characteristics of natural rubber foam with 3 phr of graphene (NRF-GPE3) which was completely cure within 6.55 minutes (tc90) measured by moving die rheometer resulting in the smallest bubble diameter among other formulas. Moreover, natural rubber foam with 3 phr of MWCNT (NRF-MWCNT3) had the highest modulus (0.0035 ± 0.0005 N/m2) due to the small bubble size with high bulk density. In addition, natural rubber foam with 3 phr of GPT (NRF-GPT3) had the highest thermal expansion coefficient (282.12 ± 69 ppm/K) due to high amount of gas bubbles inside natural rubber foam matrix and natural rubber foam with 3 phr of GO (NRF-GO3) displayed the lowest thermal conductivity (0.0798 ± 0.0003 W/m.K) which was lower value than natural rubber foam without carbon filler (NRF). This might be caused by the effect of bubble diameter and bulk density as well as the defect on surface of graphene oxide compared to others carbon filler.

The thermoplastic and thermoset laminates reinforced with different fibers generate variations in the laminated composite mechanical behavior. This work aims to analyze thermoplastic and thermoset composites creep behavior with a reduced number of experiments, applying curve-fitting analytical models (Weibull and Findley) and statistical approach (ANOVA, F-test, and SRM) in order to describe creep behavior. Creep tests were carried out using a design of experiments to define parameter levels, aiming to reduce the number of the experiments, keeping reliability relevance. The temperature shows a stronger influence of creep deformation compared with the use of distinct materials. Thermoplastic matrices seem to be more sensitive to deformation, decreasing the reinforcement contribution. On the other hand, the creep resistance of the thermoset matrix conducts a significant contribution of strain behavior for the reinforcement used. The Findley model showed a temperature-dependent response. While, the Weibull-based model exhibits temperature and material-dependence, ensuring a greater sensitivity range of the parameters applied, an essential factor for a more realistic method description.
