Justification of application of nonlinear viscoelasticity model of Rabotnov's model type in creep problems

Abstract

The relationship between the components of the strain tensor, stress tensor and time is given by the defining equations of the hereditary type, which are written based on the hypothesis of proportionality of the deviators. Thin-walled tubular low-pressure polyethylene elements are considered as the object of research. The scope of the model is substantiated based on the hypothesis of the existence of a single diagram of instantaneous deformation and a single diagram of long-term deformation. The invariance of the tensile and torsion diagrams with respect to the stress state is checked. The region of nonlinear elastic deformation is determined. The defining equations of the model contain a set of functions and coefficients determined from the basic experiments. A method for determining the parameters of heredity kernels of nonlinear viscoelastic materials under complex stress state has been developed. The nonlinearity of viscoelastic properties is given by equations of the Rabotnov's model type. The method is based on the relations between the creep kernels obtained under conditions of complex stress state and the creep kernels under one-dimensional stress state. The method is tested experimentally on the problems of calculating creep deformations under combined loading of thin-walled tubular elements made of low-pressure polyethylene.
