Abstract: This paper gives a short review of two different methods for life prediction at high temperature; namely continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and the linear life-fraction rule (LFR). It is well ...

Abstract: A numerical study is performed on the influence of interacting spherical cavities on the damage parameter. The material is isotropic, incompressible, power-law creeping. The results show that the ...

Abstract: The relation between cavity shape and damage parameter is analyzed for a cavitated material. The matrix consists of isotropic, incompressible power law creeping material. The cavities are assumed ...

Abstract: A kinematic hardening model including an associated flow rule is proposed for elastoplastic deformations in graphitic grey cast iron. Quantitatively good results are obtained when comparing with ...
