Creep and Stress Rupture testing evaluates the behavior of materials (plastics, metals, composites, and ceramics) under prolonged stress, and usually elevated temperatures to simulate conditions that ...
Plastic strain refers to non-elastic deformation and can occur during specimen loading in a creep test. Plastic deformation can be measured using the hot-stepped loading process when the test is ...
In 1985, Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT) commissioned an outside systems house to develop a proprietary computer-based creep system, ACTS (Automated Creep Test System). Written in Fortran and ...
