Rn. Singh et Cv. Ramakrishnan, FRACTURE-BEHAVIOR OF CREEPING MATERIALS UNDER BIAXIAL LOADING BY FINITE-ELEMENT METHOD, Engineering fracture mechanics, 51(4), 1995, pp. 637-648
A procedure for characterising the stress strain rate field for fractu
re of creeping materials using Norton's law by finite element method h
as been developed. C has been found to be the characterising paramete
r. Time to crack initiation, t(c), has been calculated with critical C
TOD as the criterion for crack initiation. The stress and the strain-t
ime relations and the equivalent stress and equivalent strain contours
have been drawn. Biaxial load effects are studied in detail.
