The use of new engineering materials in the aerospace and space
industry is usually governed by the need for enhancing the bearing
capacity of structural elements and systems, improving the
performance of specific applications, reducing structural weight
and improving its cost-effectiveness. Crystalline composites and
nanomaterials are used to design lightweight structural elements
because such materials provide stiffness, strength and low
density/weight. This book reviews the effect of high temperature
creep on structural system response, and provides new
phenomenological creep models (deterministic and probabilistic
approach) of composites and nanomaterials. Certain criteria have
been used in selecting the creep functions in order to describe a
wide range of different behavior of materials. The experimental
testing and evaluation of time variant creep in composite and
nanomaterials is quite complex, expensive and, at times, time
consuming. Therefore, the analytical analysis of creep properties
and behavior of structural elements made of composite and
nanocomposite materials subjected to severe thermal loadings
conditions is of great practical importance. Composite elements and
heterogeneous materials, from which they are made, make essential
changes to the classical scheme for constructing the
phenomenological creep model of composite elements, because it
reflects the specificity of the composite material and manifests
itself in the choice of two basic functions of the creep
constitutive equation, namely memory and instantaneous modulus of
elasticity functions. As such, the concepts and analytical
techniques presented here are important. But the principal
objective of this book is to demonstrate how nonlinear viscoelastic
engineering creep theory can be incorporated into the general
theory of mechanics of materials so that composite components can
be designed and analyzed. The results are supported by step-by-step
practical structural design examples and will be useful for
structural engineers, code developers as well as material science
researchers and university faculty. The phenomenological creep
models presented in this book provide a usable engineering
approximation for many applications in composite engineering.
