Creeping of a tube under dead weight, pressure and axial load

in acc. to Odqvist's invariants theory

Attention!

This calculation is only a simplified estimation, and does not replace a detailed design calculation.

1) according to Nortonīs law:     dε / dt = k · σn,     k = 10–7 · σc7–n
or:     dε / dt = C1 · σC2 · e–C3/T
To enter are the following creep constants combinations:
    n and σc7, or n and k, or C1, C2 and C3
