Creep and recovery of polypropylene/carbon nanotube composites

The creep and recovery of polypropylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites were studied. It was found for thermoplastics in general that the creep strain reduces with decreased temperature, and with enhanced content of carbon nanotubes. The incorporation of nanotubes improved the recovery property remarkably, especially at high temperature. The unrecovered creep strain of nanocomposites with content of 1 and 2.8 vol.% carbon nanotubes decreased by 53% and 73% compared to that of polymer matrix. To understand the mechanisms, the Burger’s model and Weibull distribution function were employed since the variations in the simulating parameters illustrated the influence of nano-fillers on the creep and recovery performance of the bulk matrix. To further study the recovery properties, the particular contribution of each Burger’s element to the total deformation was obtained and the recovery percentage was calculated. The time-temperature-superposition-principle was applied to predict the long-term creep behavior.     

Structural effect in the creep behavior of thermoplastic pressure pipes at high temperature – role of geometrical defects

Failure mechanisms such as local cavitation observed in crystalline thermoplastics pipes submitted to low constant pressure are likely to be induced by microstructure heterogeneity and time-dependent macroscopic stress fields. This study on poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) focuses on the latter, simulating the long-term creep behavior of homogeneous viscous pipes with finite-element calculations. Stress and strain distributions are evaluated just after loading and their evolution with time is considered. The hydrostatic stress is analyzed in relation to the onset of cavitation. The detrimental consequences of thickness defects due to extrusion on the onset of cavitation are also established.     

Experimental investigation and modeling of non-monotonic creep behavior in polymers

The deformation behavior of two unfilled engineering thermoplastics, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polycarbonate (PC), has been investigated in creep test conditions. It has been found that a loading history (prior to the creep test) comprising of loading to a maximum stress or strain value followed by partial unloading to arrive at the target stress value can greatly modify the strain-time behavior. Under such a test protocol, while the expected increase in strain during creep (constant tensile load) is observed, at relatively low creep stresses specimens have also demonstrated a monotonic decrease in strain. In an intermediate stress range, specimens have demonstrated time dependent behavior comprising of a transition from decreasing to increasing strain during creep in tension. This paper presents experimental results to delineate these findings and explore the effect of prior strain rate on the qualitative and quantitative changes in the output (strain-time) behavior. Furthermore, modification of the viscoplasticity theory based on overstress (VBO) model into a double element configuration is introduced. These changes confer upon the model the ability to yield non-monotonic behavior in creep, and supporting simulation results have been included. These changes, therefore, allow the model to simulate strain rate sensitivity, creep, relaxation, and recovery behavior, but more importantly address the issue of non-monotonic changes in creep and relaxation when a loading history involves some degree of unloading.     

Mechano-sorptive creep under compressive loading – A micromechanical model

The creep of paper is accelerated by moisture cycling, an effect known as mechano-sorptive creep. It has also been observed that the mechano-sorptive effects are larger in compression than in tension. In this paper a simplified network model for mechano-sorptive creep is presented. It is assumed that the anisotropic hygroexpansion of the fibres leads to large stresses at the fibre–fibre bonds when the moisture content changes. The resulting stress state will accelerate creep if the fibre material obeys constitutive laws that are non-linear in stress. Geometrical fibre effects are included in the model in order to capture experimental observations of the differences between paper loaded in tension and compression. Theoretical predictions based on the developed model are compared to experimental results for paper both under tensile and compressive loading at varying moisture content. The important features in the experiments are captured by the model, i.e. the creep is accelerated by the moisture cycling and the mechano-sorptive effects are larger in compression than in tension.     

On the elastic properties of model suspensions as investigated by creep recovery measurements in shear

 The elastic properties of model suspensions with spherical monodisperse hydrophilic glass spheres that were dispersed in a Newtonian liquid were determined in creep and creep recovery measurements in shear with a magnetic bearing torsional creep rheometer. The creep and creep recovery measurements were performed depending on the applied level of shear stresses ranging from 0.19 Pa to 200 Pa. Since the recoverable creep compliances of the chosen suspending medium (i.e. a low molecular weight polyisobutylene) were far below the lower limit of the resolution of the creep rheometer it can be considered to behave as purely viscous. By applying a large shear stress in the creep tests the investigated suspensions with a volume fraction of Φ _t =0.35 behave as Newtonian liquids, too. For these suspensions no significant recoverable creep compliances could be detected, as well. In contrast to the Newtonian state of suspensions at high shear stresses, where a shear induced ordering of the particles can be expected, a non-Newtonian behaviour arises by applying a very low shear stress in the creep test. In this state large recoverable creep compliances were detected for the suspensions. The magnitude of the recoverable creep compliances of the suspensions exceeded the largest creep compliances of polymer melts that are reported in the literature by more than two decades. From the results obtained by creep recovery measurements with a magnetic bearing torsional creep rheometer it can clearly be concluded that the particle structure present in the chosen model suspension gives rise to a pronounced elasticity.

Creep analysis with a stress range dependent constitutive model

Many materials exhibit the stress range dependent creep behavior. The power law creep observed for a certain stress range changes to the viscous type creep as the stress value decreases. Recently published experimental data for advanced heat resistant steels indicate that the high creep exponent (in the range 7–12) may decrease to the low value of approximately unity within the stress range relevant for engineering structures. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of the stress range dependent power-law-viscous creep transition on the behavior of structures at elevated temperature. A constitutive model for the minimum creep rate is introduced to describe both the linear and the power law creep depending upon the stress level. To demonstrate basic features of the stress range dependent creep modeling, several elementary examples from structural mechanics are presented. They include a stress relaxation problem, a beam subjected to pure bending and a pressurized thick-walled cylinder. Based on the uni-axial transition stress the transition value of the external load is estimated such that above this value the power law can be applied. For the loading levels below this value the character of the stress distribution as well as the stress values are essentially influenced by the viscous creep.     

Linear constitutive model for mechano-sorptive creep in paper

The creep of paper is accelerated by moisture cycling. This effect is known as mechano-sorptive creep. It is assumed that this is an effect of transient stresses produced during moisture content changes in combination with non-linear creep behaviour of the fibres. The stresses produced by the moisture content changes are often much larger than the applied mechanical loads. If this is the case, the mechanical loads are only a perturbation to the internal stress state, and it will appear as if the mechano-sorptive creep is linear in stress. It is possible to take advantage of this feature. In the present report the pure moisture problem is first solved. The mechanical load is then treated as a perturbation of the solution to the moisture problem. Using this strategy, it is possible to linearize a non-linear network model for mechano-sorptive creep and to formulate a continuum model. As a result, the number of variables in the model is reduced. This is a significant improvement as it will be possible to use the linearized model to describe the material in a finite element program and solve problems with complicated geometries.

Chemically and mechanically driven creep due to generation and annihilation of vacancies with non-ideal sources and sinks

The classical concept of Nabarro creep is extended for a general dislocation microstructure. The specific mechanism of the creep consists in generation and annihilation of vacancies at dislocation jogs acting as non-ideal sources and sinks for vacancies. This mechanism causes the climb of dislocations, allowing for local volume and shape change. The final kinetic equations, relating the dislocation microstructure and the local stress state to the creep rate, are derived by means of the thermodynamic extremal principle. Closed-form equations for the creep rate are derived for isotropic polycrystals. Based on the model the creep rate in the ferritic P-91 type steel at very low applied stress is evaluated and compared with experiment.
