E. Elmagd et al., THE EFFECT OF ANISOTROPIC DAMAGE ON THE R UPTURE-TIME OF STEEL UNDER CREEP CONDITIONS, Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, 27(5), 1996, pp. 239-245
The aim of the investigation is the prediction of the influence of cre
ep history, e.g. pre-damage and pre-loading, on the further creep beha
viour after changing the loading direction. The changing of the loadin
g direction has a significant influence on the rupture-time. A model h
as been developed which describes the dependence of rupture-time from
the anisotropic effect of damage.
