  • More about Phenomenological Creep Models of Composites and Nanomaterials: Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach


The use of new engineering materials in the aerospace and space industry is governed by the need for enhancing the bearing capacity of structural elements and systems, improving the performance of specific applications, reducing structural weight, and improving cost-effectiveness. This book reviews the effect of high temperature creep on structural system response and provides new phenomenological creep models of composites and nanomaterials. Composite elements and heterogeneous materials make essential changes to the classical scheme for constructing the phenomenological creep model of composite elements, and the results are supported by practical structural design examples.

The utilization of cutting-edge engineering materials in the aerospace and space sectors is primarily driven by the requirement to enhance the bearing capacity of structural elements and systems, improve the performance of specific applications, reduce structural weight, and enhance its cost-effectiveness. Crystalline composites and nanomaterials are employed to design lightweight structural elements due to their inherent properties of stiffness, strength, and low density/weight. This book delves into the impact of high temperature creep on structural system response and presents novel phenomenological creep models (deterministic and probabilistic approaches) for composites and nanomaterials.

In selecting the creep functions to describe a diverse range of material behaviors, certain criteria have been employed. Experimentally testing and evaluating time-variant creep in composite and nanomaterials is intricate, costly, and time-consuming. Consequently, analytical analysis of creep properties and behavior of structural elements composed of composite and nanocomposite materials subjected to severe thermal loadings conditions holds immense practical significance.

Composite elements and heterogeneous materials, from which they are derived, introduce significant modifications to the classical framework for constructing the phenomenological creep model of composite elements. This is because it captures the unique characteristics of composite materials and manifests itself in the selection of two fundamental functions of the creep constitutive equation: memory and instantaneous modulus of elasticity functions. As such, the concepts and analytical techniques presented herein are valuable. However, the primary objective of this book is to showcase how nonlinear viscoelastic engineering creep theory can be incorporated into the design and analysis of structural systems.
