Abstract
AbstractThe effect of superimposed ultrasonic vibration on the primary creep of metals is modeled in terms of the synthetic theory of irrecoverable deformation. We consider two sonication modes: (i) the ultrasound acts continuously during the deformation, and (ii) the ultrasound is periodically on and off. Whereas both cases show a significant increase in primary creep, the periodical sonication leads to higher deformation values. To catch the phenomenon of ultrasound-assisted creep, we extend the flow rule equation by a term that accounts for the process occurring on the microlevel of material induced by ultrasound.
