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...

Synopsis: This study presents the experimental results on properties of concrete with replacement of natural aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Experimental data on the creep behavior of concrete mixtures (basic and drying creep) was obtained. The replacement factor of natural aggregate by RCA were 0%, 15%, 30%, 60% and 100%, and the test conditions were 50% RH and 20°C. The result...

At high pressure prevailing in the lower mantle, lattice friction opposed to dislocation glide becomes very high, as reported in recent experimental and theoretical studies. We examine the consequences of this high resistance to plastic shear exhibited by ringwoodite and bridgmanite on creep mechanisms under mantle conditions. To evaluate the consequences of this effect, we model dislocation cr...

Creep and shrinkage are such properties that will occur in concrete when they are under load and exposed to surrounding. Since this property will cause deformation which may decrease the design strength of the concrete, it is necessary to do have more knowledge on this phenomenon. So, we will study the effect of creep on 7 and 14 days of cured time of specimens which sealed or unsealed will be ...

Over 2 yr, a total of 96 steers (approximately 7 mo of age) were allocated to 1 of 4 weaning management strategies: 1) control: weaned on the day of shipping; 2) creep-fed: allowed free-choice access to concentrate before weaning and shipping; 3) preweaned: weaned and provided supplemental concentrate on pasture before shipping; and 4) early-weaned: weaned at 70 to 90 d of age and kept on pastu...

underground caverns in rock salt deposits are the most secure disposal method and a type of gas-storing facility. gas storage plays a vital role in ensuring that a strategic relationship is secured between an established energy infrastructure provider and a midstream energy company. the fischells brook area is a pillow-shaped body of salts located in the st. george's bay area of southwest newfo...

We study the quantum nonlinear response to an applied electric field E of a one-dimensional pinned charge-density wave or Luttinger liquid in the presence of disorder. From an explicit construction of low-lying metastable states and of bounce instanton solutions between them, we demonstrate quantum creep v=e(-c/E(1/2)) as well as a sharp crossover at E=E(*) towards a linear response form consis...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to measure the biomechanical response of the human posterior sclera in vitro and to estimate the effects of age and glaucoma. METHODS Scleral specimens from 22 donors with no history of glaucoma and 11 donors with a history of glaucoma were excised 3 mm posterior to the equator and affixed to an inflation chamber. Optic nerve cross-sections were graded ...

Strain-controlled continuous fatigue and creep–fatigue tests were carried out at 700 °C 800 on Inconel 625 alloy. The effects of strain rate tensile-hold time cyclic stress response life investigated. Then, the microstructural analysis fractographic fatigue-fractured specimens performed by scanning electron microscopy transmission microscopy. responses during high-temperature creep–fatigue–oxid...
