  2. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    Strain (ε) as a function of time due to constant stress over an extended period for a Class M material. Creep behavior can be split into three main stages. In primary, or transient, creep, the strain rate is a function of time. In Class M materials, which include most pure materials, primary strain rate decreases over time.

  3. Creep-testing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep-testing_machine

    Creep is dependent on time so the curve that the machine generates is a time vs. strain graph. The slope of a creep curve is the creep rate dε/dt [citation needed] The trend of the curve is an upward slope. The graphs are important to learn the trends of the alloys or materials used and by the production of the creep-time graph, it is easier ...

  4. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    The initial stress is due to the elastic response of the material. Then, the stress relaxes over time due to the viscous effects in the material. Typically, either a tensile, compressive, bulk compression, or shear strain is applied. The resulting stress vs. time data can be fitted with a number of equations, called models.

  5. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    The classical creep curve represents the evolution of strain as a function of time in a material subjected to uniaxial stress at a constant temperature. The creep test, for instance, is performed by applying a constant force/stress and analyzing the strain response of the system.

  6. Strain-rate tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain-rate_tensor

    A two-dimensional flow that, at the highlighted point, has only a strain rate component, with no mean velocity or rotational component. In continuum mechanics, the strain-rate tensor or rate-of-strain tensor is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of the strain (i.e., the relative deformation) of a material in the neighborhood of a certain point, at a certain moment of time.

  7. Time-dependent viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-dependent_viscosity

    In continuum mechanics, time-dependent viscosity is a property of fluids whose viscosity changes as a function of time. The most common type of this is thixotropy , in which the viscosity of fluids under continuous shear decreases with time; the opposite is rheopecty , in which viscosity increases with time.

  8. Fracture in polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_in_polymers

    When strain attains higher values, high enough to lead to failure, its slope versus time exhibits an abrupt change. At this specific time the creep function appears a minimum. [ 2 ] In most cases DMTA (Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis) can be used to determine the viscoelastic behavior of samples as a function of time.

  9. Maxwell material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_material

    The Maxwell model does not exhibit creep since it models strain as linear function of time. If a small stress is applied for a sufficiently long time, then the irreversible strains become large. Thus, Maxwell material is a type of liquid.
