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 >
