Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Creep and fatigue resistance are the critical requirements for the materials used at high temperatures. Advanced heat-resistant materials such as nickel-based superalloys, heat-resistant austenitic and martensitic steels, and light alloys are being developed for applications in aircraft gas turbines, fossil power plants, nuclear reactors etc. To ensure structural safety, various studies of materials’ strength under complicated conditions are carried out:

  • Creep deformation and mechanisms;
  • Low cycle fatigue, high cycle fatigue, very high cycle fatigue;
  • Creep-fatigue interaction testing;
  • Effect of composition, microstructural design, phase composition on the creep and fatigue behavior;
  • Microstructural evolution under creep and cyclic loading;
  • Failure analysis;
  • Modeling and simulation of creep and fatigue deformation;
  • Crack growth;
  • Lifetime prediction, etc.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest achievements in the theoretical and experimental investigations of creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue behavior of metallic materials.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

The limitations of the established and existing creep failure models have inspired the development of a new creep prediction model. Models like Norton–Bailey and Omega are unable to model the tertiary creep curve for engineering materials. Kachanov–Rabotnov, Theta Projection, and Sine hyperbolic models rely on specific material properties for accurate damage predictions. In order to overcome these weaknesses, a new creep model combining the Norton–Bailey and Kachanov–Rabotnov models has been further devised for the creep life prediction of metallic materials. The model combination helps in covering the limitations of one model over another and to benefit from each other’s strengths. A technique of user subroutine scripting was adapted to implement the new creep model in finite element (FE) software of ABAQUS, manufactured by Dassault Systemes, version 2020. The new model was tested on an FE dog bone stainless steel 304 specimen; the analysis showed excellent agreement with the experimental creep deformation data at 600 °C to 700 °C. The creep strain rate curves obtained by the method of user subroutine scripting were found to be 90.69% accurate to the 1000 h experimental creep strain rate curve. Similarly, while comparing with the 336 h experimental creep test, the new model accuracy was found to be 92.66% for the creep strain rate curve. The new model’s precision was 91.56% when compared with the Omega and Norton–Bailey models for creep strain rate for the same conditions. The quantitative accuracy of the new creep model is better as compared to the existing creep models and can be an improved source of alternatives to existing creep models for the deformation predictions.
