The exact prediction of creep is of great significance for the simulation of the stress field of concrete creep. To overcome the limitation of the current prediction model of creep, pertinent models abroad are referred and adopted so that other factors can be controlled under standard state but only the creep varies to evaluate the feasibility of the prediction model with current characteristic...

the effect of impact modifier on creep behavior of wood flour- recycled polypropylene composites has been evaluated in this work. for this purpose, impact modifier (ethylene vinyl acetate) and recycled polypropylene were mixed with wood flour (50/50% w/w) as well as the impact modifier (0, 3%, 6% and 9%) by a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder to manufacture the wood flour- recycled polypropy...

numerical solutions obtained by the meshless local petrov–galerkin (mlpg) method are presented for two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. the mlpg method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. the penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...

In this paper power system model is represented in a new domain that relates to Multi-Resolution Analysis (MRA) space. By developing mathematical model of elements in this space using Galerkin method, a new alternative method for power system simulation in nonsinusoidal and periodic conditions is developed. The mathematical formulation and characteristics of new proposed space is expressed. Als...

The work presented in this paper is related to the determination of the creep properties for a P91 pipe weldment at 625 C, which forms part of a collaborative European project (Weldon). A Kachanov type, one damage variable, multi-axial material behaviour model was used to represent the material creep behaviour. The uniaxial material constants for the parent material and weld metal were determin...

Transient creep occurs during geodynamic processes that impose stress changes on rocks at high temperatures. The transient is manifested as evolution in the viscosity of until steady-stat...

Transient creep may play an important role in short-term (small strain) time-dependent deformation such as the post-glacial rebound and post-seismic deformation. Among various mechanisms of transient creep, I focus on inter-granular dislocation caused by plastic anisotropy each grain. The essence this process is evolution strain accommodation across grain-boundaries from elastic to (viscous) ac...

Abstract T he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. Taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. This pape...

The major factor influencing drip rate during intravenous infusion using a standard administration set is the variation in the venous pressure of the patient. Creep in the plastic material, though present, is shown to be unimportant. For steady and accurate infusion it is necessary to provide the ordinary gravity-fed administration set with some form of servo-control mechanism.
