Abstract
The creep and relaxation behaviour of high temperature pipe flanges was inv estigated. Constitutive laws to describe the relaxation and creep behaviour have been developed based on uniaxial creep and relaxation tests. They hav e been implemented in Finite element program code in order to calculate bot h the time dependent inelastic deformations as well as the stress strain si tuation in flanges. Different types of flanges have been investigated. For verification model flanges have been tested. Experimental results and numer ical analysis have been compared.
