Popis: The creep of 99.999 pct pure aluminum subject to tension-tension cyclic stressing (dynamic creep) has been studied and compared to creep for the peak cyclic stress applied statically (static creep). The creep rate for a cyclic stress of 29.8 to 3.7 MPa was always found to be greater than the creep rate for static application of a stress of 29.8 MPa over the temperature range of 302 K to 348 K. The ratio of the dynamic creep rate to the static creep rate was found to increase with increasing strain and decreasing temperature. The apparent activation energy measured for dynamic creep was less than that measured for static creep. The substructure for dynamic creep is softer than for static creep and probably accounts for the accelerated creep rate and the lower observed activation energy.
