Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue lifing ACT

      Hello,

      1. Could you please tell me if this ACT considers 'creep strains' for damage calculations?
      2. If creep strains are not considered, how does the ACT evaluates the 'inelastic strain rate' ?

      Thanks,

      Abhilash

      In case of unified viscoplasticity, the total inelastic strain is available and will be used for lifing. n

      By total you mean to say combined Creep (viscous) + plastic (rate independent) strain?n
