Development of a unified creep‐fatigue equation including heat treatment

Background Creep and fatigue damages in metals are known to interact and then lead to aggregated damage. While models exist for fatigue, creep and creep‐fatigue, no models cover all 3 load regimes. Also, a heat treatment–related parameter is not well included in most creep‐fatigue models. Need There is a need to develop a creep‐fatigue equation, which covers the full loading regime from pure fatigue to pure creep, and creep‐fatigue. Also needed...
