Abstract

The paper presents a framework for creep modeling of materials, which experimentelly exhibit different behaviour in different loading scenarios such as tension, compression and shear, respectively. To this end the characterization of the stress modes is obtained in the octahedral plane of the deviatoric stress space in terms of the Lode angle, such that stress mode dependent scalar weighting functions can be constructed. These are exploited to formulate an additive decomposition of the flow rule into a sum of weighted stress mode related quantities. Verification of the approach is succeeded for a superalloy RENE95.
