This project seeks to address the challenge of rapid experimental screening of long-term creep behavior of candidate materials by developing an accelerated creep testing (ACT) program for metallic materials using two new ACTs: the stepped isothermal method (SIM) and the stepped isostress method (SSM). These ACTs are capable of recording over a short period of real time, the long-term multistage creep deformation to rupture of materials. Recent experiments on polymers show the remarkable capacity to accelerate creep testing from an equivalent 20 hr to an equivalent 107 hr over the same timeframe.
