Fast computational & experimental methods for creep estimation of titanium alloys
The paper suggests a fast method to obtain titanium alloys’ creep curves at room temperature using limited experimental data. The study is based on assumption given in [1, 2] that in creep conditions, acting stresses depend on accumulated plastic strain and its rate. Transition from creep curves to isochronic ones is shown to be practicable in calculation of real structures. The problem of pure beam bending under creep has been solved using isochronic curves.
