Abstract
The solution for the creep rate of a porous solid as a function of pore volume fraction, pore size and the radial or annular flaw size, is presented. The analysis is based on the concept of crack opening displacement which assumes that the displacement of a solid under stress is solely due to the opening of all radial or annular cracks emanating from the surface of the cavities. It is shown that the strain rate by crack growth is a strong function of pore size and preexisting flaw size. A linear relationship was found to exist between the strain rate by crack growth and the porosity volume fraction.
