A simple model based on the Orowan equation and the dynamic evolution of the dislocation structure by generation and merging of slipped areas is used to see which experimental results on creep of pure and solute-hardened crystalline materials can or cannot be explained with regard to creep with refinement or coarsening of the dislocation structure and steady-state creep. Quantitative deficienci...

Today, rapid economic and industrial growth generates increasing amounts of waste materials such as waste tyre rubber. Attempts to inspire a green technology which is more environmentally friendly that can produce economic value are a major consideration in the utilization of waste materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of waste tyre rubber (crumb rubber modifier (CRM)), in ...

The creep behavior of nanocellulose films and aerogels are studied in a dynamic moisture environment, which is crucial to their performance in packaging applications. For these materials, the creep rate under cyclic humidity conditions exceeds any constant humidity creep rate within the cycling range, a phenomenon known as mechanosorptive creep. By varying the sample thickness and relative humi...

The exact prediction of creep is of great significance for the simulation of the stress field of concrete creep. To overcome the limitation of the current prediction model of creep, pertinent models abroad are referred and adopted so that other factors can be controlled under standard state but only the creep varies to evaluate the feasibility of the prediction model with current characteristic...

The work presented in this paper is related to the determination of the creep properties for a P91 pipe weldment at 625 C, which forms part of a collaborative European project (Weldon). A Kachanov type, one damage variable, multi-axial material behaviour model was used to represent the material creep behaviour. The uniaxial material constants for the parent material and weld metal were determin...

Determining the dynamic response of frozen soil is important for the study of the deformation, strength and stability of frozen soil under dynamic loading conditions for engineering design in cold regions. This paper discusses the recent progress in research on the dynamic response of frozen soil from the following three aspects: (1) influence of various testing conditions (confining pressure, ...

Viscoelasticity of porcine skin and its material substitute, modelled by variously concentrated bovine gelatin, was determined in static (creep test) dynamic (oscillatory mode the means rotational rheometry to obtain creep compliance complex shear modulus. Mechanical properties characterization also supplemented with large deformation compression test order determine correlate moduli gelatin co...

The dynamic and static yield stress of fresh cement mortar were measured in a rotational rheometer with a vane geometry using shear rate and shear stress-controlled protocols, respectively. Through a shear rate-controlled steady-state protocol, the equilibrium flow curve is measured and fitted with the Bingham model to obtain dynamic yield stress. A negative slope in the equilibrium flow curve,...

In order to research the creep deformation characteristics of frozen soil and effect various influencing factors on creep, indoor uniaxial tests were carried out specimens at temperatures −5, −4, −3 −2 °C under loads 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 σt, respectively. The different load conditions are analyzed unconfined conditions. results show that test conditions, when is low, there no accelerated stage in cu...

A micromechanical finite element (FE) framework was developed to predict the viscoelastic properties (complex modulus and creep stiffness) of the asphalt mixtures. The two-dimensional (2D) microstructure of an asphalt mixture was obtained from the scanned image. In the mixture microstructure, irregular aggregates and sand mastic were divided into different subdomains. The FE mesh was generated ...
