DOWNLOAD EBOOKMultiple creep dwells within the load cycle can be considered and improvements are made to the cyclic loop construction. In order to make the eDSCA more accurate for creep damage assessment, the stress modifed ductility exhaustion method is implemented combining the advantages of both stress and strain based methods. Thirdly, several case studies on creep-fatigue interaction are discussed thanks to the flexibility of the LMMF including the detrimental effect of creep-ratchetting. Furthermore, a new potentially dangerous mechanism involving the sudden accumulation of plastic strain during the creep dwell is identified and studied by numerical means.
