In this report, a new constitutive model is derived that combines the Wilshire equations with continuum damage mechanics (CDM) to enable the long-term prediction of creep deformation, damage, and rupture. The Wilshire equations have been demonstrated to accurately extrapolate the stress-rupture, minimum-creep-strain-rate, and time-to-strain of various alloys across decade of life. Recently, the time-to-creep-strain equation has been rearranged to predict creep deformation curves; however, the resulting equation is difficult to calibrate and does not track damage. The CDM-based Sinh constitutive model accurately predicts creep deformation, damage, and stress-rupture for a variety of alloys; however, it lacks an explicit description of stress and temperature co-dependence which limits interpolation and extrapolation ability. In this study, the Wilshire and the CDM-based Sinh equations are combined to create the “WCS” model. The WCS model combines the best features of each model while eliminating their deficiencies. Experimental data for alloy P91 is gathered and the WCS model is calibrated to the data. The WCS model accurately predicts the stress rupture, minimum-creep-strain-rate, creep deformation, and damage of alloy P91 across the experimental stress and temperature range as well as consistency in parametric simulations.
