نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes and presents research progress on the fundamentals of the development of creep damage constitutive equations for high Cr steels including 1) a brief summary of the characteristics of creep deformation and creep damage evolution and their dependence on the stress level and the importance of cavitation for the final fracture; 2) a critical review of the state of art of creep damage equation for high Cr steels; 3) some discussion and comments on the various approaches; 4) consideration and suggestion for future work. It emphasizes the need for better understanding the nucleation, cavity growth and coalesces and the theory for coupling method between creep cavity damage and brittle fracture and generalization.

Critical review the development of creep damage constitutive equations for high Cr steels
The creep deformation and failure of high Cr steel component and weld is a challenging problem for power generation industries. There is a lack of good understanding of the precise nature and role of cavitation on the creep deformation and rupture. Creep damage constitutive equation developed either specifically developed for this type of steel or borrowed from existing one have been used in re...
متن کاملOn the development of creep damage constitutive equations: modified hyperbolic sine law for minimum creep strain rate and stress and creep fracture criterion based on cavity area fraction along grain boundary
This paper reports (1) the latest development and application of a modified hyperbolic sine law for minimum creep strain rate and stress for both low Cr and high Cr steels, and (2) the development of a creep fracture criterion based on cavity area fraction along grain boundaries for high Cr steel. This work is part of the fundamental development of creep damage constitutive equations which were...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Creep-damage Constitutive Model of Mudstone Based on the Fractional Calculus Theory
During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage evolution rules, a fractional nonlinear creep-damage model is proposed to reflect the instantaneous deformation in loading processes and the accelerat...
متن کاملThe Interpretation of Experimental Observation Data for the Development of Mechanisms based Creep Damage Constitutive Equations for High Chromium Steel
It is very important to design a safe factor or estimating the remain lifetime for electric power plant components of steam pipes which mostly manufacture by high chromium steels and work at high temperature and low stress level. The author will develop the mechanisms based on creep damage constitutive equations for high chromium steel under lows stress in initial stage: (1) Creep cavities most...
متن کاملUniversity of Huddersfield Repository Analyzing the Characteristics of the Cavity Nucleation, Growth and Coalescence Mechanism of 9cr-1mo-vnb Steel (p91) Steel
Creep damage is one of the serious problems for the high temperature industries and computational approach (such as continuum damage mechanics) has been developed and used, complementary to the experimental approach, to assist safe operation. However, there are no ready creep damage constitutive equations to be used for predicting the lifetime for this type of alloy, particularly for low stress...
