Long Term Behavior

Abstract One of the most crucial issues in developing a material model to describe the long term behaviour of polymers is to represent adequately the load dependency of the considered material. In many publications, it is shown that the free volume affects the mechanical behavior of polymers. For a further investigation of the dependency of the creep behavior on free volume, different experiments are presented in this paper. In one experiment, the creep behavior under tension and shear are compared, to see how the different hydrostatic pressures in these tests influence mechanical behavior. Furthermore, tensile creep tests under different hydrostatic pressures are conducted experimentally. The experiments are conducted on a polycarbonate, a polypropylene and a polymethyl methacrylate. It is shown that the hydrostatic pressure has a significant influence on the creep behavior of all three materials. This effect is related to the change of free volume.

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.

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.

Creep Exposure

ABSTRACTThe effect of long-term aging and creep exposure on the microstructure of a cast TiAl-based alloy with nominal chemical composition Ti-46Al-2W-0.5Si (at.%) was studied. The aging experiments were performed at temperatures between 973 and 1073 K for various times ranging from 10 to 14000 h in air. Constant load tensile creep tests were performed at applied stresses ranging from 150 to 400 MPa and at temperatures between 973 and 1123 K up to 25677 h. During aging and creep testing the α2(Ti3Al)-phase in the lamellar and feathery regions transforms to the γ(TiAl)-phase and fine needle-like B2 precipitates. Microstructural instabilities lead to a softening of the alloy. The effect of this softening on long-term creep resistance is negligible at temperatures of 973 and 1023 K.

The aim of the present work is to apply the Larson–Miller technique for the study of the mechanical behavior under creep of high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibers focused on use as in offshore mooring ropes. Creep is known to be a long-term phenomenon, so in most cases, reproducing such experiments in real time is not feasible, and as the life span of anchoring systems must be in the order of decades, accelerated tests are required to verify the long-term mechanical behavior of the material. The methodology using the Larson–Miller parameter is a well-documented and powerful technique for materials’ lifetime prediction, although seldom applied to polymeric materials. It involves in performing accelerated (high temperature and/or loads) creep tests to determine the parameters that are later used to estimate the rupture time of the material under constant load. It is concluded that the Larson–Miller technique is efficient for calculating the lifetime of HMPE subjected to creep.

The main mechanics behavior character of building silicone sealant is its time dependence£¬which lies in the existence of the interior timepiece or the characteristic time. The creep behaviors were fundamental to evaluating the long-term performance of the building silicone sealant under long-term external loading. A series of creep tests of building silicone sealant were conducted in the laboratory under different combinations of external loads, the characteristics of the creep curve were obtained. In this work, the creep behaviors of building silicone sealant were also investigated under various temperatures at invariable stress. The test measurements show that the creep behavior of building silicone sealant are nonlinear, Nonlinear creep behavior is analyzed by means of the equivalence principle of time-stress, the main creep curve under reference stress was obtained by fitting with the viscoelastic rheological model. So the long-term creep behavior of the building silicone sealant under lower stress can be predicted by short-term creep behavior under higher stress.
