摘要
Many engineering components, such as power-plant steam pipes, aero-engine turbine discs, etc., operate under severe loading/temperature conditions. As a result, cracks can initiate and subsequently propagate over time due to creep. The Liu and Murakami＇s model has proven to be a useful tool for the prediction of creep crack growth under such conditions. Previously, experimental conditions used in obtaining the constant ofmultiaxiality, a, have not reflected the multiaxial severity of the stress state ahead of a crack tip. Therefore, the present study presents a novel method for interpolating crack growth data to obtain a.
