| Abstract: | In the present study a simple model is proposed to assess creep behavior. The model is applied to experimental results performed on austenitic steel X8 CrNiMoNb 16 16. The model is based on a modification of the Levy‐Mises equation for plasticity to consider creep time effects, introducing as a parameter the intrinsic creep resistance. The assessment of creep behavior applied for monotonic and two stages loading data is good. The model could assess negative creep strain rates as well as damage accumulation observed as an increase of the minimum creep rate after each reloading at the same stress level in two stages tests. |
