Advanced Creep

Coordination of Advanced Creep Activities to Improve Safety and Durability of High Temperature Plant Materials
 

 

definitions

The term 'Advanced creep' covers the following topics:

  • Creep strain modelling (e.g. to give creep strength at various levels of strain)
  • Stress relaxation behaviour
  • Creep ductility
  • Multiaxial creep behaviour and notch sensitivity prediction
  • Creep property deterioration due to service exposure
  • Creep crack initiation from pre-existing defects
  • Creep data from component tests
