Abstract
Failure by excessive creep deformation or fracture is an important design consideration in structures which are required to operate at elevated temperatures over long periods of time. Often these components are subjected to triaxial states of stress resulting from the mode of loading or from sharp changes in sections which cause local stress concentrations. In order to determine useful component lifetimes in such circumstances, laws governing material behaviour under multiaxial stressing are needed. Of particular concern are states of triaxial tension since these inhibit deformation, enhance fracture processes, and can cause premature failure.
