underground caverns in rock salt deposits are the most secure disposal method and a type of gas-storing facility. gas storage plays a vital role in ensuring that a strategic relationship is secured between an established energy infrastructure provider and a midstream energy company. the fischells brook area is a pillow-shaped body of salts located in the st. george's bay area of southwest newfo...

materials exhibit significant creep behavior at temperatures above 40% of their absolute melt temperature. lead, tin and their alloys are such materials which experience significant creep behavior in room temperature. one of the most important applications of the tin-lead alloys is soldering electronic circuits in electronic industry, and for lead are isolation walls and wet batteries. room tem...

In the present paper, time dependent creep behavior of hollow circular rotating cylinders made of exponentially graded material (EGM) is investigated. Loading is composed of an internal pressure, a distributed temperature field due to steady state heat conduction with convective boundary condition and a centrifugal body force. All the material properties are assumed to be exponentially graded a...

abstract: a time domain semi-analytical solution to study thermoelastic creep behavior of  functionally graded rotating axisymmetric disks with variable thickness is presented. the rate type governing differential equations for the considered structure are derived and analytically solved. to solve these  equations, the disk is divided into some virtual sub-domains. general solution of  equilibr...

creep phenomenon in rock engineering plays a key role in development of underground spaces as they must be stable enough for a long period of time. current research involved designing and manufacturing of a new creep testing machine. the equipment is capable to perform simultaneous light-duty creep tests on more than one cylindrical rock samples at a very low cost.to evaluate the equipment’s pe...

ÐThe longitudinal primary creep of long-®ber composites is modeled by considering the transient stress states arising from load transfer from the weaker matrix phase to the stronger ®ber phase as the composite transitions from the elastic state present immediately after loading to steady-state stage where both phases creep. The e€ect of primary creep of each of the phases on the primary creep o...

steady state creep of the alloy was in a thermodynamical steady state, (2) which configuration of the dislocation network was contributing to the creep strength, and (3) which change in the dislocation network was the cause of the creep recovery. Specimens were furnace-cooled under stress and then observed by transmission electron microscopy. The creep stress was reduced during the test and the...

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...

The Steady state creep behaviour of a functionally graded cylinder made of isotropic composite containing varying distribution of silicon carbide particles has been investigated by a mathematical model. The creep behaviour of the FGM is described by a Norton's Power law. The effect of varying distribution of SiCP particles of creep stresses and creep rates in the FGM cylinder has been anal...
