Abstract
The energy rate line integral C* is an essential fracture parameter that characterizes the stress and strain rate field intensity at a crack tip for materials undergoing creep deformation, and is also a crucial parameter describing the creep crack growth rate. This study proposes a method for determining the characteristic parameters of the creep displacement rate model for specimens with mode-I crack under various constraints. Based on the displacement rate model, a semi-analytical model of the C*-integral related to the displacement rate, load, specimen sizes, and Norton's law parameters of materials is proposed. Furthermore, finite element analysis (FEA) models were established for compact tension (CT), single-edged notched bending (SEB), C-shaped tension (CST), and single-edge notched tension (SET) specimens, and the proposed models were verified using FEA results and those predicted by the ASTM method. The explicit correlation between the creep displacement rate and crack length a in the model can contribute to developing novel testing methods for real-time crack length and creep crack growth rate.
