The soft clays are widely distributed, and one of the prominent engineering problems is the creep behavior. In order to predict the creep deformation of soft clays in an easier and more acceptable way, a simple creep constitutive model has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the triaxial creep test data indicated that, the strain-time (𝜀-t) curve showing in the 𝜀-lgt space can be divided into two lines with different slopes, and the time referring to the demarcation point is named as t_EOP. Thereafter, the strain increments occurred after the time t_EOP are totally assumed to be the creep components, and the elastic and plastic strains had occurred before t_EOP. A hyperbolic equation expressing the relationship between creep volumetric strain, stress and time is proposed, with several triaxial creep test data of soft clays verifying the applicability. Additionally, the creep flow law is suggested to be similar with the plastic flow law of the modified Cam-Clay model, and the proposed volumetric strain equation is used to deduced the scaling factor for creep strains. Therefore, a creep constitutive model is thereby established, and verified by successfully predicting the creep principal strains of triaxial specimens.

Soft clay is widely spread in nature and encountered in geotechnical engineering applications. The creep property of soft clay greatly affects the long-term performance of its upper structures. Therefore, it is vital to establish a reasonable and practical creep constitutive model. In the study, two updated hyperbolic equations based on the volumetric creep and deviatoric creep are respectively proposed. Subsequently, three creep constitutive models based on different creep behavior, i.e., V-model (use volumetric creep equation), D-model (use deviatoric creep equation) and VD-model (use both volumetric and deviatoric creep equations) are developed and compared. From the aspect of prediction accuracy, both V-model and D-model show good agreements with experimental results, while the predictions of the VD-model are smaller than the experimental results. In terms of the parametric sensitivity, D-model and VD-model are lower sensitive to parameter M (the slope of the critical state line) than V-model. Therefore, the D-model which is developed by incorporating the updated deviatoric creep equation is suggested in engineering applications.

In order to theoretically analyze the creep behavior of high Cr steel at $600^{\circ}C$, a unified elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model based on the consideration of dislocation density is proposed. A combination of a kinetic equation describing the mechanical response of a material at a given microstructure in terms of dislocation glide and evolution equations for internal variables characterizing the microstructure provides the constitutive equations of the model. Microstructural features of the material such as the grain size and spacing between second phase particles are directly implemented in the constitutive equations. The internal variables are associated with the total dislocation density in a simple model. The model has a modular structure and can be adjusted to describe a creep behavior using the material parameters obtained from uniaxial tensile tests.

본 연구에서는 탄.소.점성 구성모델을 비교적 간단한 수학적 합성유도방식에 기초하여 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 비등방성 modified Cam-Clay model을 일반응력공간으로 확장시켰으며generalized viscous theory를 단순화하여 각각 소성 및 점성의 구성관계로 활용하였다. Damage 원리를 구성모델에 추가하였으며, 모든 식의 변형 및 개발은 모델정수의 수를 감소시키는 원칙에 입각하여 수행하였다. 개발된 구성모델을 활용하여 점성토의 크리프거동을 예측하였으며 이를 실험결과와 비교분석하였다. 예측된 결과는 크리프파괴의 경우를 포함한 실험결과와 비교적 양호하게 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다.

Constitutive models for final stage densification of metal powder compacts with power-law creep deformation were investigated. The constitutive models were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) by using user subroutine CREEP and, from FEM results, useful densification curves were obtained when hydrostatic and uniaxial stress were applied to the powder compacts at various pressures and temperatures. Because the densification behavior varied as the constitutive models, the equivalent stress surface on each constitutive equation was investigated to analyze the difference of densification behavior.

A constitutive model is proposed to analyze creep densification and grain growth of ceramic powder compacts. The creep strain rates for powder compacts are obtained from constitutive equations proposed by Rahaman et al. and Helle et al. The grain-growth rate is obtained by assuming time, grain size, and strain rate as its internal state variables. the proposed constitutive model is compared with experimental data for alumina compacts obtained by Venkatachari and Raj for sinter forging and by Son et al. for hot pressing.

This paper proposes a combined plastic and creep constitutive model of A533B1 pressure vessel steel to simulate progressive deformation of nuclear pressure vessels under severe accident conditions. To develop the model, recent tensile test data covering a wide range of temperatures (from RT to 1,100 ℃) and strain rates (from 0.001%/s to 1.0%/s) was used. Comparison with experimental data confirms that the proposed combined plastic and creep model can well reflect effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile behaviour up to failure. In the companion paper (Part II), the proposed model will be used to simulate OECD lower head failure (OLHF) test data.

Concrete behaves as ductile material at high temperature. The existing stress-strain relationship is not valid at high temperature condition. Thus, stress-strain curve of concrete at high temperature is re-established by modifying Saenz's suggestion in this study. A constitutive model of concrete subjected to elevated temperature is also suggested. The model consists of three components; free thermal stain, mechanical strain and thermal creep strain. As the temperature increase, the thermal creep becomes more critical to the failure of concrete. The thermal creep strain of concrete is derived from the modified power-law relation for the steady state creep. The proposed equation for thermal creep employs a Dorn's temperature compensated time theorem

Densification behavior and grain growth of zirconia powder compacts are investigated under high temperature. Experimental data are obtained for zirconia powder under pressureless sintering, sinter forging and hot isostatic pressing. The constitutive equations by Kwon et al. are used for diffusional creep and grain growth. The constitutive equations by McMeeking and co-workers are also included to study the effect of power-law creep. These constitutive equations are implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) to investigate the friction effect during sinter forging and the canning effect during hot isostatic pressing. The agreements between experimental data and finite element results are very good in pressureless sintering and hot isostatic pressing, but not as good in sinter forging.

본 연구에서는 고온에 노출되는 열-점소성 거동의 해석을 위해 소성유동, 크 리프, 응력풀림(stress relaxation)등의 거동을 동시에 다룰 수 있는 통일구성방정식 모델에 대해 논하고 적절한 모델을 선정한다. 이 모델은 미소변형이론에 근거한 것 이므로 구조물의 거동을 소변형률(small strain)과 소회전(small rotation)의 범위내 로 가정하여 해석한다.선정된 모델에 대해서 시간변화율 형태의 방정식으로부터 유 한요소법을 통한 수치화와 사용된 구성방정식을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 수치해석 법상의 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하여 유한요소법 전산코드를 적상하고, 작성된 코드를 이용하여 고온에서 하중을 받는 단순보와 국부적으로 심한 가열을 받는 구조물에 적용하여 고전적인 구성방정식으로 복합적인 해석이 어려웠던 열-점소성 거동을 효과적으로 해석할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 논문은 응력해석에 주안 점을 두었으므로 열해석에 관한 상세한 논의는 가급적 생략하기로 한다.
