The Relationship

The small punch creep (SPC) test is possible to predict residual creep life at a high accuracy. But, the results of SPC tests cannot be compared with uniaxial creep or internal pressure creep results directly. In this report, the relationship between SPC test results and uniaxial creep test results in ASME A335 P11 (1.25Cr-0.5Mo Steel) was studied. The obtained relationship between SPC load and equivalent uniaxial creep stress formed a simple linear equation under the wide range of test temperature and test period. Then, the SPC results can be compared with uniaxial results by converting SPC loads to the equivalent uniaxial creep stresses. The relationship between SPC test results and internal pressure creep tests results was also studied. The internal creep life of as-received P11 pipe was almost same as SPC result when the hoop stress was converted to the SPC load. The creep lives of internal pressure creep influenced materials also showed good correspondence with SPC results. Therefore SPC can estimate the residual life of internal pressure creep influenced materials.

In this paper, the creep performance of a multi-barrel rocket launch canister under long-term stacking storage is studied. Based on the Bailey–Norton model, a creep model for the frame material of a launch canister was established. Constant stress tensile creep tests under different stress levels at room temperature were carried out on the frame materials of the launch canister and the creep model parameters were obtained by test data fitting. The three-dimensional finite element model of the launch canister was established in the ABAQUS software environment and the creep deformation of the launch canister after long-term stacking storage was studied. The results indicated that the bottom layer of the launch canister frame presented an extended residual deformation when the stacking storage solution with the original support pad was used. Therefore, a position adjustment program of the support pad was put forward. The residual deformation of the launch canister frame after long-term storage could be significantly reduced, thus the performance requirements for the launch canister are guaranteed.

Ultrasuper critical (USC) thermal plants are now in operation around the globe. Their applications include superheaters and reheaters, which generally require high temperature/pressure conditions. To withstand these harsh conditions, an austenitic heat-resistant HR3C (ASME TP310NbN) steel was developed for metal creep resistance. As the designed life time of a typical thermal plant is 150,000 h, it is very important to predict long-term creep behavior. In this study, a three-state variable continuum damage model (CDM) was modified for better estimation of long-term creep life. Accelerated uniaxial creep tests were performed to determine the material parameters. Also, the rupture type and microstructural precipitation were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The creep life of HR3C steel was predicted using only relatively short-term creep test data and was then successfully verified by comparison with the long-term creep data.

Type IV damage has been found at several ultra-supercritical (USC) plants that used high-chromium martensitic steels in Japan, and the assessment of the remaining life of the steels is important for electric power companies. The assessment of the remaining life needs long-term creep data for over 10 years, but such data are limited. We have attempted to assess the remaining life by creep tests and by microstructural observation of Grade 91 steels welded pipes which were used in USC plants for over 10 years. Following the results of microstructural observation of USC plant pipes, we find that microstructures, especially distribution of MX precipitates, have large effect on the creep life of Grade 91 steels.

In this paper the coupled service (constructional tension) and environmental (sunlight, rainfalls, temperature variations) ageing influence on the polyester-reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated fabric VALMEX is studied. Two cases of the same fabric have been analyzed: one USED for 20 years on the real construction of the Forest Opera in Sopot (Poland), and one kept as a spare material (NOT USED). The following tests have been conducted: uniaxial tensile, biaxial tensile and long-term creep tests. The obtained results have been used for the parameter identification of the piecewise non-linear, Burgers and Bodner–Partom models. Next, the analysis of the influence of environmental conditions on the parameters of these models has been made. It has been concluded that some parameters are more and the others are less sensitive to the exposure to environmental and mechanical conditions. The change of material parameters for fill threads (due to larger deformation) is higher. The obtained results may be useful in the durability evaluation of the textile membranes reinforced with polyester threads and PVC coated. All the constitutive models with the identified parameters may be used for the numerical analysis of structures made of fabrics at the service beginning and after long-term usage.

AbstractThe effects of variation in humidity coupled with long-term loading give rise to dimensional changes and creep effects in wooden elements. Many wooden products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) plates as well as many common structural details used in timber engineering are vulnerable to variations in moisture content (MC) as well as to creep effects. This paper addresses the long-term effects in the material modelling of timber by the finite element method (FEM), also considering the viscoelastic and mechanosorptive effects in wood. The model was calibrated using both relaxation tests and creep tests. The results from both long-term compression perpendicular- to-grain tests (relaxation and creep) performed on glulam (GL30c) from Norway spruce (Picea abies) with moisture control are presented in this paper. The material model considers the effect of loading and moisture changes. For realistic comparison, the pith location of each lamella was specified in the numerical analyses. Ultimately, a comparison between the numerical results and the experimental results has been provided, exhibiting an overall good estimation of timber response.

The hydraulic loading device commonly used for creep test necessitates continuous recharge of the hydraulic pressure with time and is accompanied by slight variation of the permanent load at each recharge. Therefore, accurate test results cannot be obtained for long-term creep tests requiring time-dependent behavioral analysis during more than 6 months. This study conducts creep test as part of the analysis of the long-term characteristics of fiber-reinforced lean concrete sub-base of pavement. The creep test is executed using the new load-amplifier device not a conventional loading device. Since the results of the preliminary verification test on the new creep test device show that constant permanent load is applied without significant variation, it can be expected that more accurate measurement of the creep will be possible in a long-term compared to the conventional hydraulic device. In addition, the creep test results of sub-base specimens reveal the occurrence of large instantaneous elastic strain, differently from the strain curve observed in ordinary concrete, as well as the occurrence of small creep strain leading to low creep coefficient.
