Abstract
Creep theories of metals are based often upon constitutive relations for constant-stress, constant-temperature creep data. For variable stress and temperature processes, a hardening rule is required. In addition, a flow criterion is required for multiaxial states of stress. In this paper, creep-design procedures are evaluated for metal members subject to multiaxial-stress states and step changes in load and temperature. Tension-test data for copper alloy 360 (fre-cutting brass) and SAE 1035 steel for constant stress levels at three elevated temperatures, are approximated by four different forms of creep relations. Timehardening and strain-hordening rules are employed with reasonable success to describe the experimental creep deformations of tension specimens subjected to step changes in load and temperature. In addition, experimental data for torsion members of solid cross section subjected to step changes in load and temperature are described by means of two creep relations and the strain-hardening rule and flow criteria of von Mises and Tresca. Accurate description of the experimental data for SAE 1035 steel is obtained with the von Mises criterion. However, for free-cutting brass, poor correlation between theory and experiment is obtained with both the von Mises and the Tresca flow criteria. Further study of the behavior of free-cutting brass is indicated.
