Abstract
Experimental of two kinds of compact tension (CT) specimens’ creep crack propagation are carried out in this paper. Traditional fracture mechanics and three-dimensional fracture theory are compared and the results show that: The K-Tz two-parameter model can eliminate the thickness-effect on the crack growth rates in the relatively low K range, however when K exceed certain values the effect of thickness for crack growth rates still exists; The Ct and Ct-Tz model can describe the thickness-effect of creep crack growth rates in regions of high Ct; When the crack tip stress intensity factor K of the two kinds of thickness (B=5 mm, B=10 mm) specimens equal to 35 and 31 respectively, this material’s creep crack growth control parameter change from K to Ct.
