... experimental protocols call for either step increases in stress followed by creep holds, or continuous loading at a constant rate. Using the Boltzmann superposition principle and the Equations from the previous paragraph, deriving the strain response to a constant stress rate is fairly straightforward...

... Abstract In this paper, statistical aspects of the constant stress-rate test were investigated. The effects of the number of specimens on the subcritical crack growth parameters were examined. The grooved disk specimens were used to determine the fracture strength. 7 groups of fictitious data...

... ABSTRACT: Twenty seven triaxial compression tests have been conducted on welded tuff at constant and controlled axial piston displacement rates. The piston displacement rates were then converted to axial stress rates according to a nearly linear load-displacement relation. Specimens were...
