This paper presents the results of two triaxial compression tests performed on approximately 9×10 3 oblate spheroids (lentils) with different initial orientations respect to loading axis (approximately 30° and 60°). Typical stress-strain information is complemented x-ray tomography scans every 1 % strain. Starting from an labelling particles, a new technique used obtain unprecedented detail tra...

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...
