Creep deformation of materials

Indian Institute Of Technology Bhubaneswar and NPTEL via Swayam

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

This course aims to provide the audience an introduction to time dependent plastic deformation of materials (creep) especially at high homologous temperatures. The goal is for the audience to learn the rate controlling mechanisms of creep and their utility in predicting the remaining useful life of a structure. Other Parametric approaches such as Larson-Miller parameter, Theta-projection concept, Kachanov-Rabotnov model will also be introduced. The course will conclude by highlighting the importance of accounting for creep in development of technologically important materials such as titanium alloys and nickel based super alloys.
