Step 10 It is suggested to increase number of iterations and reduce the step size of creep step parameters to enhance model convergence.

The case of constant density of steps modeled by Wakai is equivalent to the diffusion-controlled creep modeled by Raj and Chyung [80], and it is also consistent with terms of the stress, temperature and grain size dependence of the strain rate for interface-reactioncreep predicted by others [80]. However, in the two cases of bidimensional nucleation of step and spiral step, the creep parameters differ from those predicted by the authors cited above. In particular, for 2-D nucleation there is a divergence of the creep parameters which has been recently solved [81], considering in detail the precipitation or solution of the crystalline material at the step, which changes significantly the free enthalpy involved in the process. 

Figure 73 illustrates the jump-like creep process by the interferograms obtained for amorphous polymers and the scheme of stepped deformation. Two parameters were introduced to characterize the stepwise creep (1) deformation increment L corresponding to the period of creep rate variation (the height of the step in the scheme) and (2) the ratio h of the maximum ( max) to minimum (emin) creep rates within the same step L, i.e., jump sharpness. In some cases, the mean value... 

It was revealed that both parameters of jump-like creep typically changed with development of the deformation process. The deformation steps L of submicro-, micro-, and meso-scale sizes could be observed in polymers and composites depending on material composition and the deformation stage. It was found that the... 

The Schapery Equation for a Two Step Stress Input Determination of the material parameters necessary for the application of the Schapery Equation are best done by using creep-recovery data and will be demonstrated in a later section. Toward that end, we develop the specific form for the Schapery equation with a simple two-step load. In this section, we assume a general two step stress distribution such that. 

Schapery Equation for a Creep and Creep Recovery Test Schapery suggested using a creep and creep recovery test (as shown in Fig. 10.9) to determine the stress dependent parameters g, g, g, a . This condition is a special case of the two step loading of Eq. 10.32a in which stresses a = Oo and Ob = 0 and thus... 

Consider a nonlinear viscoelastic material which is well modeled by the Schapery approach. Would it be possible to determine all seven (7) material parameters only using creep tests That is, not using recovery (unloading) data or a multiple steps in stress Give a detailed explanation for your answer. 

A corner-stone of the theory of linear viscoelasticity is the Boltzmann superposition principle. It allows the state of stress or strain in a viscoelastic body to be determined from knowledge of its entire deformation history. The basic assumption is that during viscoelastic deformation in which the applied stress is varied, the overall deformation can be determined from the algebraic sum of strains due to each loading step. Before the use of the principle can be demonstrated it is necessary, first of all, to define a parameter known as the creep compliance J(t) which is a function only of time. It allows the strain after a given time e(t) to be related to the applied stress or for a linear viscoelastic material since... 

Figure 60 illustrates two-step creep and recovery data at different stresses for a reinforced polymer along with the predictions finm the Schapery creep formulation and those obtained from simply applying a modified form of the Boltzmann superposition principle. Without going into the details of the procedures of obtaining all the parameters, it is clear that the model captures much of the observed nonlinear response, while the modified Boltzmann rule does not. (Note that the modified Boltzmann rule simply assumes additivity of responses, but without the linearity assumptions.) Figure 61 shows the creep and recovery data... 

Table III lists the material properties of the components. Fibers and matrix were considered as isotropic, and in a first step the Norton-equation for steady state creep was assumed. Because of missing parameters for compression creep, tension creep data for the fibers were adapted from elsewhere The data for the matrix was estimated as follows. Based on the experimental results for the 0° and 90 fiber orientation the overall creep rate for the matrix was chosen higher and the stress exponent lower than for the fibers.

The creep test probes the time-dependent nature of a sample. Creep and recovery tests allow the differentiation between viscous and elastic responses when the viscoelastic material is subjected to a step constant stress (creep) and then the applied stress is removed (recovery). A standard creep experiment provides critical parameters such as zero shear viscosity (qo) and equilibrium compliance (Jeo), which measures the elastic recoil of a material. 

The next step in the development is to bring the statistical representation of the failure data together with the mechanistic failure model. For each creep stress level, the probability density function is fitted to the data using commercially-available software [29,30]. The variation in the fitting parameters with stress is then represented by the mechanistic model for the failure phenomenon [6,11,14,25],...
