Creep Damage Evaluation using Uniaxial Miniature Specimens for Multiaxially Damaged Components

Tensile and Creep Testing of Sanicro 25 Using Miniature Specimens

Tensile and creep properties of new austenitic steel Sanicro 25 at room temperature and operating temperature 700 °C were investigated by testing on miniature specimens. The results were correlated with testing on conventional specimens. Very good agreement of results was obtained, namely in yield and ultimate strength, as well as short-term creep properties. Although the creep rupture time was...

Evaluation of Rutting in HMA Mixtures Using Uniaxial Repeated Creep & Wheel Tracker Tests

Over the past twenty years; road traffic (both passenger and freight) has grown significantly in Pakistan. Higher axle loads and repetitions have resulted in premature rutting of flexible pavements. Rutting, in the form of shear flow is a typical distress that mainly attributed to increased tire pressure, high temperature and heavy axle loads. Consequently, National Highway Authority (NHA), Pak...

Nondestructive Evaluation of the Creep Damaged Ni-Based Superalloy Using Ultrasonic Wave Method

The effects of microstructures during creep on the ultrasonic attenuation have been investigated for Ni based superalloy (IN738LC). The cuboidal γ′ precipitates in the virgin material became coarsened preferentially in the direction perpendicular to the applied stress axis as creep time increased. The length of γ′ precipitates increased with creep time, while the width increased slightly. The i...

A Creep Rupture Time Model for Anisotropic Creep-damage of Transversely-isotropic Materials

Anisotropic creep-damage modeling has become an increasingly important prediction technique in both the aerospace and industrial gas turbine industries. The introduction of tensorial damage mechanics formulations in modeling tertiary creep behavior has lead to improved predictions of the creep strain that develops due to anisotropic grain structures and the induced anisotropy that occurs with i...
