Abstract
An attempt is made to predict the creep behavior of thermally cycled Al-SiC composites using a continuum-based cell model. The model is found to predict most of the experimentally observed features of the creep behavior of the composites. The calculated stress exponent approaches unity at low applied stresses, and the thermally cycled creep rate is significantly greater than the isothermal creep rate that occurs when the composite is held at the maximum value of the periodic temperature history. 12 refs.
