摘要
Creep fracture by slow crack growth is studied in a medium density polyethylene at 60 degrees C and 80 degrees C. Whereas elastic-plastic fracture mechanics load parameters fail to provide a unique temperature-independent correlation, that of the fracture mechanics for creeping solids C-* is proved to be relevant since this parameter correlates very well with the time to failure. Correlation established on both full notched creep tensile and double edge notched tensile tests was validated on cracked gas-pipe samples tested under hydrostatic pressure, extending the use of time to failure versus C-* diagram to predict lifetime of engineering components.
