This paper presents the peridynamic numerical method for nonlinear viscoelastic creep behaviour which consists of primary, secondary, tertiary creep stages and creep rupture. A nonlinear viscoelastic creep constitutive equation based on internal state variable (ISV) theory which covers four creep stages is examined. The viscoelastic equation is substituted into material parameter in the peridynamic equation to derive a new peridynamic method with two time parameters i.e. numerical time and real time. The parameters of the viscoelastic equation is analyzed and evaluated. In validating this peridynamic method, a comparison is made between numerical and experimental data. The peridynamic method for nonlinear viscoelastic creep behaviour (VE-PD) is approved by the good similarity between numerical and experimental creep strain curves with overall difference of 10.67%. The nonlinearity of experimental and numerical data is adequately similar as the error between experimental and numerical curves of secondary stage strain rate against load is 8.022%. The shapes of fractured numerical specimen show good resemblance with the experimental result as well.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to establish a peridynamic method in predicting viscoelastic creep behaviour with recovery stage and to find the suitable numerical parameters of peridynamic method. Design/methodology/approach – A rheological viscoelastic creep constitutive equation including recovery and an elastic peridynamic equation (with integral basis) are examined and used. The elasticity equation within the peridynamic equation is replaced by the viscoelastic equation. A new peridynamic method with two time parameters, i.e. numerical time and viscoelastic real time is designed. The two parameters of peridynamic method, horizon radius and number of nodes per unit volume are studied to get their optimal values. In validating this peridynamic method, comparisons are made between numerical and analytical result and between numerical and experimental data. Findings – The new peridynamic method for viscoelastic creep behaviour is approved by the good matching in numerical-analytical data comparison with difference of < 0.1 per cent and in numerical-experimental data comparison with difference of 4-6 per cent. It can be used for further creep test which may include non-linear viscoelastic behaviour and creep rupture. From this paper, the variation of constants in Burger’s viscoelastic model is also studied and groups of constants values that can simulate solid, fluid and solid-fluid viscoelastic behaviours were obtained. In addition, the numerical peridynamic parameters were also manipulated and examined to achieve the optimal values of the parameters. Research limitations/implications – The peridynamic model of viscoelastic creep behaviour preferably should have only one time parameter. This can only be done by solving the unstable fluctuation of dynamic results, which is not discussed in this paper. Another limitation is the tertiary region and creep rupture are not included in this paper. Practical implications – The viscoelastic peridynamic model in this paper can serve as an alternative for conventional numerical simulations in viscoelastic area. This model also is the initial step of developing peridynamic model of viscoelastic creep rupture properties (crack initiation, crack propagation, crack branching, etc.), where this future model has high potential in predicting failure behaviours of any components, tools or structures, and hence increase safety and reduce loss. Originality/value – The application of viscoelastic creep constitutive model on peridynamic formulation, effect of peridynamic parameters manipulation on numerical result, and optimization of constants of viscoelastic model in simulating three types of viscoelastic creep behaviours.

Rice husk based plastic composites are increasingly being used as deck-boards, railings and other load-bearing materials. Since this material typically contains 40% plastic, and plastics creep with respect to time when they carry load, creep is an important issue here. So the viscoelastic characterization of this material and the prediction of creep as a function time is of paramount importance for the material's long-term commercial success. Creep is a time related deformation but it can also be affected by the stress level and environmental conditions, such as time and temperature. In order to predict the creep of this composite, it is important to derive a relationship between deformation, time, temperature, relative humidity and stress. Nonlinearity can exist in the stress, temperature, and moisture related deformation. In this study, hollow extruded rice husk -HDPE beams were subjected to creep and recovery in flexural mode and the stress related nonlinear creep behaviour of the same was studied phenomenologically. Both linear and non-linear region constants were determined with modified models, and a predictive model was developed. These constants will be used to define, model and predict long-term creep deformation.

AbstractThe creep behavior of a commercial grade polycarbonate was investigated in this study. 10 different constant stresses ranging from 8 MPa to 50 MPa were applied to the specimen, and the resultant creep strains were measured at room temperature. It was found that the creep could be modeled linearly below 15 MPa, and nonlinearly above 15 MPa. Different nonlinear viscoelastic models have been briefly reviewed and used to fit the test data. It is shown that the Findley model is a special case of the Schapery model, and both the Findley model and the simplified multiple integral representation are suitable for properly describing the creep behavior of the polycarbonate investigated in this paper; however, the Findley model fit the data better than the simplified multiple integral with three terms.

Clarifying the creep behaviour of concrete at early age not only improves the accuracy of temperature stress analysis but also contributes to prediction accuracy and control measures in cracks caused by thermal stress. However, most past researches on creep behaviour were investigated after 28 days. Currently, it is difficult to accurately perceive the creep behaviour of concrete at an early age in the test method of creep which is generally carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the creep behaviour of concrete at early age and to establish a convenient test method to estimate the creep behaviour. Therefore, in this study, experiments were carried out for concrete at early age within one week. As the result of the experiments, it was shown that the creep strain is proportional to the load stress of concrete at an early age and the strain of specific creep decreases as the loaded age increases. In addition, based on the experimental results, an estimation equation for creep strain at early age was proposed. Within the scope of this experimental result, it was confirmed that the estimation equation proposed in this study accurately represented the creep behaviour of concrete at early age.

We consider the initial boundary value problem of a nonlinear viscoelastic equation of Kirchhoff-type with nonlinear damping and velocity-dependent material density. We establish a nonexistence result of global solutions with positive initial energy and negative initial energy, respectively.
