A superalloy is a material that has been specially designed to conserve high creep resistance and strength when used at high temperatures. Currently, these are made of complex materials which are ...

A series of creep tests were carried out on sandstone specimens with different pre-peak instantaneous damage characteristics under different confining pressures. The results revealed that the creep ...

Polyamide 6 (PA6) films is widely used in food packaging, biomedical, industrial applications and other fields because of its excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability 1,2,3. Polymeric ...

Small-scale testing enables the isolation of mechanisms. Instead of measuring the averaged response of a large specimen, ...

Creep is a time dependent deformation process that happens to materials under a certain stress level. However, with proper design and material choices, thermoplastics can be a suitable material for ...
