Abstract:
A constitutive law for power-law creep of BCC β-Ti is developed, based on experimental data from eight independent studies. The present compilation adds more than twice as many data points as previous analyses, covers nine orders of magnitude in strain rate from 10−7 to 102 s−1, and incorporates recent data for the shear modulus of β-Ti.
