Abstract:
A relationship between noncoaxial tensors of stress and creep strain rate is established for the case of plane strain or a plane stress state. The basis is the experimentally substantiated hypothesis on the existence of a creep surface, which is a set of loading paths in the stress space that, at any time, ensure identical values of the creep intensity for a certain chosen measure and orthogonality of the creep strain rate vector to this surface. The relation obtained completely corresponds to available experimental data for complex loading.
