The objective of this study is to introduce a method for creating “material specific” creep continuum damage mechanics-based constitutive models. Herein, material specific is defined as a constitutive model based on the mechanism-informed minimum creep strain rate (MCSR) equations found in deformation mechanism maps and calibrated to available material data. The material specific models are created by finding the best MCSR model for a dataset. Once the best MCSR model is found, the Monkman Grant inverse relationship between the MCSR and rupture time is employed to derive a rupture equation. The equations are substituted into continuum damage mechanics-based creep strain rate and damage evolution equations to furnish predictions of creep deformation and damage. Material specific modeling allows for the derivation of creep constitutive models that can better the material behavior specific to the available data of a material. The material specific framework is also advantageous since it has a systematic framework that moves from finding the best MCSR model, to rupture time, to damage evolution and, creep strain rate. Data for Alloy P91 was evaluated and a material specific constitutive model derived. The material specific model was able to accurately predict the MCSR, creep deformation, damage, and rupture of alloy P91.

PVP2020 - Virtual Conference

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
