J. Granacher et al., NUMERICALLY CALCULATED PARAMETER C-ASTERI SK FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF CREEP CRACK BEHAVIOR, Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, 27(3), 1996, pp. 135-142
Extensive creep crack results from earlier investigations on three hea
t resistant steels are described by the parameter C, which is calcula
ted on the basis of inelastic finite element analyses. The scatter ban
ds of creep crack initiation time and creep crack growth rate are dete
rminated for this parameter. Further the application of the results to
the calculation of components is discussed.
