Because this method was derived from the strain range partitioning method with a multiaxiality factor, it was possible to consider the influence of both creep-fatigue interaction and multiaxial stress state on fatigue life. In order to predict the combined axial-torsional fatigue life the damage under combined loading was defined as linear summation of the damages under axial loading and torsional loading. Axial-torsional creep-fatigue tests were carried out using tubular specimens of 316LC austenitic stainless steel and the ferritic rotor steel. This rotor steel was developed for the permanent magnet type eddy current retarder in heavy trucks. Experimentally obtained lives of both steels were well corresponded with the lives predicted by the proposed method. It was found that the proposed method was effective in multiaxial fatigue life evaluation under proportional creep-fatigue loadings.展开更多

Four groups of high-strength high-performance concrete (HSHPC) prism specimens were fabricated, and three of these specimens were loaded periodically by the MTS Landmark Fatigue Testing Machine System. Creep characteristics and creep coefficients of HSHPC under static loading and cyclic loading, respectively, were obtained and compared. The experimental results show that the creep strains under cyclic loading with a mean stress of 0.4fcp and an amplitude of 0.2fcp increase significantly compared with the creep strains under static loading, and the maximum value was 1.2-2.3 times at early stages. In addition, the creep coefficient increases nonlinearly with the number of cyclic loading repetitions. The influence coefficient for cyclic loading 1.088x(N/N0)0.078was introduced based on the previous HSHPC creep model, and then the modified creep model under cyclic loading was established. Finally, the residual method, the CEB coefficient of variation method and the B3 coefficient of variation method were applied to evaluate the modified creep model. The statistical results demonstrate that the modified creep model agrees well with the experimental measurements. Hence, it has important theoretical and practical values for accurately predicting the deflection of concrete bridges under cyclic traffic loading.展开更多

The design was motivated by the need to make locally available, a cost effective, technically efficient, and easily operated creep testing facility;for creep behaviour studies of materials. Design drawings and purchase of materials and components for the design were undertaken after thorough evaluation of the following design and materials selection criteria: design principle and theory, local availability of raw materials and components required for the design, material properties, cost of materials and design, ease of utilization and maintenance, and basis of testing and data capture. The machine casing and frame, heating chamber (consisting of the furnace and a dual specimen mounting stage), load lever and hanger system, and the electro-technical components;were fabricated and coupled following the produced design specifications. The machine was tested and its performance was assessed using its heating efficiency, repeatability and reproducibity of experimental test results, maintainability and cost-effectiveness as criteria. It was observed from repeat tests that the machine has the capacity of generating reliable data for computing creep strain-time results. The efficiency and temperature regulating capacity of the heating unit of the machine were also observed to be very satisfactory. The cost of the design was about 112,000 Naira ($700.00) which is cheaper in comparison to similar commercial creep testing machines from abroad. The machine was also found not to pose maintenance or repairs challenges.展开更多

The dynamic train loading was converted into an equivalent creep stress, using an equivalent static force method. Also, the creep equation of frozen soil was introduced according to the results of frozen soil rheological triaxial tests. A coupled creep model based on a time-hardening power function rule and the Druker-Prager yield and failure criterion was estab- lished to analyze the creep effects of a plain fill embankment under repeated train loads. The temperature field of the embankment in the permafrost area was set at the current geothermal conditions. As a result, the permanent deformation of the embankment under train loading was obtained, and the permanent deformation under the train loads to the total embankment deformation was also analyzed.展开更多

When σ_3 is smaller,gas pressure and σ_1 are larger,disturbance load is constant,gassy coal has remarkable effects of disturbance to creep.The concepts of disturbance load sensitive domain and disturbance creep sensitive domain were put forward.Under same amplitude disturbance stress condition,blasting disturbance has a stronger influence on gassy coal deformation is related to frequency of disturbance load;gas drainage,blasting excavation and mining play an important role in coal-gas outbursting.The relationship of gassy coal creep and gas pressure gradient,the creep constitutive equation built with gas pressure gradient and disturbance load as independent variables within the framework of fluid-solid two phases coupling were established.展开更多

The testing load was fixed at 0. 069 MPa and the total testing time was with- in 6 h including the holding time of 1.5 h. The hot load defi〉rmation process of insulating fireclay bricks can be divided into three steps : ( 1 ) expansion step from room temperature to RUL Tmax;( 2 ) quick shrinkage step be- tween. RUL T and Ttest; 3 ) relatively slow shrinkage step during holding process. The deformation rate at the beginning of holding process (D0h) should be controlled withi, +0. 1%. The hot load deformation testing tem- perature of insulating fireclay bricks was optimized as the value of RUL T plus 220℃.展开更多
