Abstract: For a long time, only empirical models existed for creep curves in the tertiary stage. To understand the role of creep damage, including changes in the dislocation structure, cavitation, and necking, basic models that do ...

Abstract: Many metals and alloys have a stress exponent for the creep rate that is considerably higher than the value of three that is typically predicted by creep recovery models. One example is pure Ni. Creep data from Norman and ...
