This paper details the development and assessment of a new empirical creep model that belongs to the limited ranks of models reproducing full creep curves. The important features of the model are that it is fully standardised and is universally applicable. By standardising, the user no longer chooses functions but rather fits one set of constants only. Testing it on 7 contrasting materials, rep...

the creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (bfre) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (gfre) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. to study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (mgp) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in bfre composites. the initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) are nowadays largely used for electrical and thermal energy production in small buildings households. Their reliability compactness allow them to operate thousands of hours with minimal maintenance. However, the long exposure at high temperatures combustion chambers can promote creep, which induce fatigue potential failure these components. Creep-induced damage MGTs ha...

Following a successful study on the prediction of fatigue life of high-heat-load components made of Glidcop, the thermal limitation of oxygen-free copper (OFC), which is used more commonly than Glidcop, has been studied. In addition to its general mechanical properties, the low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) and creep properties of OFC were investigated in detail and compared with those of Glidcop. The br...

The creep behaviors of TA2 and R60702 at low and intermediate temperature were presented and discussed in this paper. Experimental results indicated that an apparent threshold stress exhibited in the creep deformation of R60702. Meanwhile, the primary creep phase was found as the main pattern in the room temperature creep behavior of TA2. Compared with exponential law, the power law has been pr...

A small punch test is one of the innovative methods that can be used to evaluate the properties of a material without destructive harm to the in-service component. Conventionally identifying material properties by a uniaxial test is widely applied to engineering. How the properties obtained from a small punch test can be applied with the same utility has been a goal. In 2006, European Code of P...

It is well known that the solution cooling rate has a great effect on the creep life of superalloys. In this research, three typical cooling rates were applied to generate different distributions of γ’ precipitates for creep tests. Ingots used to make specimens were manufactured by hot extrusion, and the master alloy had the composition of an FGH4096 power metallurgy superalloy. SEM and SESD we...

In this study, the non-linear creep behaviour of a thick-walled cylinder made of stainless steel 316 is investigated using a semi-analytical method. The thick-walled cylinder is under a uniform internal pressure and a non-axisymmetric thermal field as a function of the radial and circumferential coordinates. For the high temperature and stress levels, creep phenomena play a major role in stress...

The tensile creep and creep-recovery behavior of a unidirectional Sic-fiher/Si,N,-matrix composite was investigated at 1200°C in air. A primary objective of the study was to determine how various sustained and cyclic creep loading histories would influence the creep rate, accumulated creep strain, and the amount of strain recovered upon specimen unloading. The key results obtained from the inve...
