Time-dependent creep stress redistribution analysis of thick-walled FGM spheres subjected to an internal pressure and a uniform temperature field is investigated. The material creep and mechanical properties through the radial graded direction are assumed to obey the simple power-law variation throughout the thickness. Total strains are assumed to be the sum of elastic, thermal and creep strain...

creep phenomenon in rock engineering plays a key role in development of underground spaces as they must be stable enough for a long period of time. current research involved designing and manufacturing of a new creep testing machine. the equipment is capable to perform simultaneous light-duty creep tests on more than one cylindrical rock samples at a very low cost.to evaluate the equipment’s pe...

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...

The creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (BFRE) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. To study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (MGP) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in BFRE composites. The initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

We prove the existence and uniqueness of solution to a classical creep damage problem. We formulate a sufficient condition for the problem to have a unique smooth solution, locally in time. This condition is stated in terms of smoothness of given data, such as solid geometry, boundary conditions, applied loads, and initial conditions. Counterexamples with an arbitrary small lifetime of a struct...

Some exploratory work on creep and inverse creep in nylon 6 monofilament, polyester multifilament yarn and wool and cotton spun yarns has been presented. It is observed that the extent of creep and inverse creep differs from material to material and depends on the initial stress. Cotton shows minimum inverse creep while nylon shows maximum inverse creep. Wool and polyester have intermediate inv...

During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage evolution rules, a fractional nonlinear creep-damage model is proposed to reflect the instantaneous deformation in loading processes and the accelerat...

In this article, the time-dependent stress redistribution analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) thick-walled sphere subjected to mechanical, electrical, magnetic and uniform temperature gradient as well as moisture concentration gradient is presented. Combining constitutive equations of MEE with stress-strain relations as well as strain-displacement relations results in obtaining a differen...
