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...

materials exhibit significant creep behavior at temperatures above 40% of their absolute melt temperature. lead, tin and their alloys are such materials which experience significant creep behavior in room temperature. one of the most important applications of the tin-lead alloys is soldering electronic circuits in electronic industry, and for lead are isolation walls and wet batteries. room tem...

abstract: a time domain semi-analytical solution to study thermoelastic creep behavior of  functionally graded rotating axisymmetric disks with variable thickness is presented. the rate type governing differential equations for the considered structure are derived and analytically solved. to solve these  equations, the disk is divided into some virtual sub-domains. general solution of  equilibr...

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...

steady state creep of the alloy was in a thermodynamical steady state, (2) which configuration of the dislocation network was contributing to the creep strength, and (3) which change in the dislocation network was the cause of the creep recovery. Specimens were furnace-cooled under stress and then observed by transmission electron microscopy. The creep stress was reduced during the test and the...

In the present paper, time dependent creep behavior of hollow circular rotating cylinders made of exponentially graded material (EGM) is investigated. Loading is composed of an internal pressure, a distributed temperature field due to steady state heat conduction with convective boundary condition and a centrifugal body force. All the material properties are assumed to be exponentially graded a...

Two novel mathematical models based on polynomial function (PF) and boundary condition method (BCM) are presented for determination of shear stress in interface in steady state creep in short fiber composites under axial loading. Important novelty of this research is determination of shear stress in interface without using of shear lag and imaginary fiber technique (IFT) theories. In these appr...

Static and completely reversed cyclic creep acceleration characteristics of Al – 22 wt% Ag alloy were investigated using a modified tensile testing machine. Different amplitudes of reversed cyclic stress (σrev) ranging from 7.2 to 10.2 MPa at different working temperatures ranging from 353 K to 413 K were performed. To get a relation between aging temperature and threshold stress (σth) for cycl...

When electric current flows in a solder bump, electromigration generates stress, but creep relaxes it. After some time, the bump develops a steady-state stress field. We present a theory to show that the two processes — electromigration and creep — set an intrinsic length. When the intrinsic length is large compared to the height of the bump, electromigration is fast relative to creep and the s...
