Creep and Stress Relaxation Anisotropy of a Single-Crystal Superalloy

Creep-Fatigue Failure Diagnosis

Failure diagnosis invariably involves consideration of both associated material condition and the results of a mechanical analysis of prior operating history. This Review focuses on these aspects with particular reference to creep-fatigue failure diagnosis. Creep-fatigue cracking can be due to a spectrum of loading conditions ranging from pure cyclic to mainly steady loading with infrequent off...

Creep and Stress Relaxation Behavior of Polypropylene, Metallocene-Prepared Polyethylene and their Blends

Solder Joint Creep and Stress Relaxation Dependence on Construction and Environmental-stress Parameters

Creep strain is probably the most important time-dependent damage accrual factor affecting solder joint reliability. Under typical multi-hour loading conditions, creep-induced strain is a complex time per cycle, the system. function of solder metallurgical structure, solder temperature, loading applied stress, and the spring constant of the combined part/lead/board The complex system level cree...

Lifetime prediction in creep-fatigue environment

The creep-fatigue interaction has been studied and innovative mathematical models are proposed to predict the operating life of aircraft components, specifically gas turbine blades subject to creep-fatigue at high temperatures. The historical evolution of the creep-fatigue lifetime prediction is given in order to place the present study in the context. A literature review of the life estimation...
