New apparatus suitable for compression creep tests of slender specimens is described. The apparatus is designed to prevent buckling and to introduce a minimum of friction. Results are reported for tension and compression creep of polyethylene and annealed, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride copolymer at 75 deg F and 50 per cent relative humidity. The stress σ, strain ε, time t data from these tests were found to be describable with reasonable accuracy by the equation ε=ε0′sinhσ/σε+m′tnsinhσ/σm where ε0′, m′, n, σε, and σm are material constants. The results for polyethylene show that the creep in tension and compression were virtually the same. However, the creep in tension was similar but larger than in compression for polyvinyl chloride. These observations are interpreted in terms of the material structure and the influence of the normal stress on active shear planes.

Superlattice stacking faults play an important part in the deformation processes of γ/γ' Ni-based superalloys. However, recent studies using the weak-beam technigue have brought into question the previously accepted mechanism for shearing of the γ'precipitates. A new shearing mechanism involving a single a/2<110> matrix dislocation and the nucleation of a Shockley partial has been proposed. In the present study, TEM weak-beam and bright field image matching techniques have been used to study the elementary shearing configurations of γ'precipitates in [001] single crystals of superalloys after creep (intermediate temp.) and dynamical (high temp.) tests in compression and tension.The observations show a change of configurations between compression and tension: in dynamical compression, precipitates are mainly sheared by leading S-ESF (Fig. 1); and in tension creep by leading S-ISF (Fig. 2). Both dynamical tension and compression creep give a mixture of S-ISF and S-ESF.

The constitutive relation of concrete under uniaxial tension and compression is an essential theoretical basis for structural analysis of concrete. Because of the lack of sufficient stiffness for ordinary test device, a stable decline branch of stress-strain curve could not be obtained. The condition of realizing the stress-strain complete curve for concrete uniaxial tension and compression is derived. The experiment device for uniaxial tension and compression was designed and fabricated with increasing stiffness method. Experiments were carried out for concrete with grade C30~C60 and strain rate 10-5/s~10-2/s. The equation for stress-strain curve in the rising branch were obtained and so were the complete stress-strain curve of uniaxial tension and compression under different strain ratio, which provide the theoretical basis for concrete structural analysis.

In recent years, many efforts have been devoted to the development of innovative Al-based casting alloys with improved high temperature strength. Research is often oriented to the investigation of the effects of minor element additions to widely diffused casting alloys. The present study focuses on Al-7Si-0.4Mg (A356) alloy with small additions of Er and Zr. Following previous scientific works on the optimization of heat treatment and on tensile strength, creep tests were carried out at 300 °C under applied stress of 30 MPa, a reference condition for creep characterization of innovative high-temperature Al alloys. The alloys containing both Er and Zr displayed a lower minimum creep strain rate and a longer time to rupture. Fractographic and microstructural analyses on crept and aged specimens were performed to understand the role played by eutectic silicon, by the coarse intermetallics and by α-Al matrix ductility. The creep behavior in tension of the three alloys has been discussed by comparing them to tension and compression creep curves available in the literature for Al-7Si-0.4Mg improved by minor elemental additions.

AbstractMonolithic MoSi2 and MoSi2 reinforced with SiC particulate reinforcements have been produced with widely varying grain sizes. Monotonic compression behavior of these materials has been examined in the temperature range of room temperature to 1200°C. Based on these results, the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature at low deformation rate of MoSi2 and its composite appears to be near 900°C and may decrease slightly with decreasing grain size. Tension and compression creep behavior of these materials were also studied between 1100 and 1400°C. Creep strength of the matrix decreases with decreasing grain size even in the nominally dislocation climb-glide regime. While 20 vol% SiC particulates provide a reasonable amount of creep strengthening of the fine grain MoSi2 matrix, strengthening due to coarser grain size can be significantly higher in these materials. These results parallel those on other intermetallics.

Refractory materials are subjected to thermomechanical loads during their working life, and consequent creep strain and stress relaxation are often observed. In this work, the asymmetric high temperature primary and secondary creep behavior of a material used in the working lining of steel ladles is characterized, using uniaxial tension and compression creep tests and an inverse identification procedure to calculate the parameters of a Norton-Bailey based law. The experimental creep curves are presented, as well as the curves resulting from the identified parameters, and a statistical analysis is made to evaluate the confidence of the results.
