Abstract To study the static bending creep properties of glass fiber reinforced wood, glass fiber reinforced poplar (GFRP) specimens were obtained by pasting glass fiber on the upper and lower surfaces of Poplar (Populus euramevicana, P), the performance of Normal Creep (NC) and Mechanical Sorptive Creep (MSC) of GFRP and their influencing factors were tested and analyzed. The test results and analysis show that: (1) The MOE and MOR of Poplar were increased by 17.06% and 10.00% respectively by the glass fiber surface reinforced composite. (2) The surface reinforced P with glass fiber cloth only exhibits the… More >

Abstract The creep deformation process is constructed by complex interactions of multiple factors, and the measurement of creep deformation requires enormous economic costs and a long experimental time, so there is a small amount of measurement data. In such a situation, multiple models are often proposed to explain the same experimental data. The coexistence of multiple models based on different physical assumptions makes it difficult to understand the creep deformation process.
The purpose of this study is to construct a framework to compare and evaluate coexistence models based on measurement data using the Bayesian model selection… More >

Abstract An accurate creep deformation model is needed for detailed description of creep behavior of high temperature structural materials, e.g., Grade 91 steels used in boiler tubes of thermal power plants. Two types of creep constitutive equations are known, as follows: the one, e.g., modified theta method, assumes the existence of a steady state; and the other, e.g., theta method, does not. So far, both types have been selected on a case by case basis and there is no consensus on whether or not the steady state should be assumed even if limited in the Grade… More >
