Creep and recovery data are presented for combined tension and torsion of 2618 Aluminum at 200°C (392°F). These data are represented by a mechanical-mathematical model in which the strain is resolved into five components: elastic, time-independent plastic, recoverable viscoelastic, time-dependent nonrecoverable viscous (positive) and time-dependent nonrecoverable viscous (negative). By using recovery data the recoverable component is separated from the nonrecoverable creep strain. Results show that the time-dependence may be represented by a power of time (independent of stress) and that the time-dependence of the recoverable and nonrecoverable strains are the same. It is also shown that the proportion of recoverable versus nonrecoverable strain may be taken to be independent of stress. The mathematical expressions developed describe quite well the creep and recovery under tension and/or torsion. Results are presented in a form which may prove suitable for predicting creep or relaxation under variable input using the modified superposition simplification of the multiple integral representation for the recoverable strain component and strain hardening for the nonrecoverable component. Comparison between predicted strain or stress and actual tests under different variable stress or strain histories will be presented in subsequent papers.

Creep and creep-recovery data of 304 stainless steel are reported for experiments under constant combined tension and torsion at 593°C (1100°F). The data were represented by a viscous-viscoelastic model in which the strain was resolved into five components—elastic, plastic (time-independent), viscoelastic (time-dependent recoverable), and viscous (time-dependent nonrecoverable) which has separate positive and negative components. The data are well represented by a power function of time for each time-dependent strain. By applying superposition to the creep-recovery data, the recoverable creep strain was separated from the nonrecoverable. The form of stress-dependence associated with a third-order multiple integral representation was employed for each strain component. The time-dependent recoverable and nonrecoverable strains had different nonlinear stress dependence; but, the time-independent plastic strain and time-dependent nonrecoverable strain had similar stress-dependence. A limiting stress below which creep was very small or negligible was found for both recoverable and nonrecoverable components as well as a yield limit. The limit for recoverable creep was substantially less than the limits for nonrecoverable creep and yielding. The results showed that the model and equations used in the analysis described quite well the creep and creep-recovery under the stress states tested.

Nonlinear constitutive equations are developed and used to predict from constant stress data the creep behavior of 2618 Aluminum at 200°C (392°F) for tension or torsion stresses under varying stress history including stepup, stepdown, and reloading stress changes. The strain in the constitutive equation employed includes the following components: linear elastic, time-independent plastic, nonlinear time-dependent recoverable (viscoelastic), nonlinear time-dependent nonrecoverable (viscous) positive, and nonlinear time-dependent nonrecoverable (viscous) negative. The modified superposition principle, derived from the multiple integral representation, and strain-hardening theory were used to represent the recoverable and nonrecoverable components, respectively, of the time-dependent strain in the constitutive equations. Excellent-to-fair agreement was obtained between the experimentally measured data and the predictions based on data from constant-stress tests using the constitutive equations as modified.

Data are reported from 48 hour constant multiaxial stress creep followed by 48 hour creep recovery with the magnitudes of the effective stress ranging from 34.5 MPa (5.00 ksi) to 175.5 MPa (25.46 ksi). They differed from a previous data set in the much longer constant-stress durations and the inclusion of data from low stress creep, compression creep, and short term aging tests. Data were represented by a viscous-viscoelastic model in which the time-dependent strain was resolved into recoverable and nonrecoverable components. Previous stress-strain relations for constant stress creep and recovery were modified to include the current experimental observations of the nonexistence of creep limits, negligible aging effects, and symmetry in tension and compression. The time dependence was represented by a power of time with different exponents for the recoverable and nonrecoverable components. A homogeneous function of maximum shear stress was developed to represent the full range of stress dependence of the nonrecoverable time-dependent components; the third-order multiple integral representation was used for the recoverable component.

AbstractNatural frequencies and vibration modes of axial compressor blades are investigated. A refined mathematical model based on the usage of an eight-nodal curvilinear isoparametric finite element was applied. The verification of the model is carried out by finding the frequencies and vibration modes of a smooth cylindrical shell and comparing them with experimental data. A high-precision experimental setup based on an advanced method of time-dependent electronic interferometry was developed for this aim. Thus, the objective of the study is to verify the adequacy of the refined mathematical model by means of the advanced time-dependent electronic interferometry experimental method. The divergence of the results of frequency measurements between numerical calculations and experimental data does not exceed 5 % that indicates the adequacy and high reliability of the developed mathematical model. The developed mathematical model and experimental setup can be used later in the study of blades with more complex geometric and strength characteristics or in cases when the real boundary conditions or mechanical characteristics of material are uncertain.

A new practical method to simulate time-dependent material properties of polyester mooring line is proposed. The time-dependent material properties of polyester rope are modeled with a standard linear solid (SLS) model, which is one of the simplest forms of a linear viscoelastic model. The viscoelastic model simulates most of the mechanical properties of polyester rope such as creep, strain-stress hysteresis and excitation period-dependent stiffness. The strain rate-stress relation of the SLS model has been re-formulated to a stretch-tension relation, which is more suitable for implementation into global performance and mooring analyses tools for floating platforms. The new model has been implemented to a time-domain global performance analysis software and applied to simulate motion of a spar platform with chain-polyester-chain mooring system. The new model provides accurate platform offset without any approximation on the mean environmental load and can simulate the transient effect due to the loss of a mooring line during storm conditions, which has not been possible to simulate using existing dual-stiffness models.

The nonlinear viscoelastic response of a PVC-Coated Fabric has been studied. For the needs of the present study, creep and recovery tests in tension of both the warp and the weft directions at the different stress levels were executed while measurements were made of the creep and recovery strain response of the system. For the description of the viscoelastic behaviour of the material, Schapery’s nonlinear viscoelastic model was used. For the description of the nonlinear viscoelastic response and the determination of the nonlinear parameters, a method by using a combination of analytical formulations and numerical procedures based on a modified version of Schapery’s constitutive relationship where an instantaneous plastic and a transient plastic terms were added, has been developed. The method has been successfully applied to the current tests.

We generalise the epidemic Renormalization Group framework while connecting it to a SIR model with time-dependent coefficients. We then confront the model with COVID-19 in Denmark, Germany, Italy and France and show that the approach works rather well in reproducing the data. We also show that a better understanding of the time dependence of the recovery rate would require extending the model to take into account the number of deaths whenever these are over 15% of the cumulative number of infected cases.

Much of the work on the theory of diffraction by an infinite wedge has been for cases of harmonic time-dependence. Oberhettinger (1) obtained an expression for the Green's function of the wave equation in the two dimensional case of a line source of oscillating current parallel to the edge of a wedge with perfectly conducting walls. Solutions of the time-dependent wave equation have been obtained by Keller and Blank (2), Kay (3) and more recently by Turner (4) who considered the diffraction of a cylindrical pulse by a half plane.
