Abstract
Generally, thermoplastic polymers due to their viscoelastic behavior tend to appear creep deformation at low temperature compared to metals; this continuous creep deformation caused irregular shapes with time and resultant unstable dimensional parts. Therefore, the investigation of creep behavior in thermoplastic polymers must be considered as an essential requirement in the design process. This work exanimated the creep rupture behavior for Polyamide 6.6 and their composites which content of 1%MWCNTS or 30 short carbon fibers under variant applied stresses and temperatures, as well as, to create analytical model to the obtained results Findley power law model was employed for this purpose with a comprehensive verification to their compatibility to the experimental results. The results appeared that the addition of reinforced materials and decreasing applied stresses and temperatures will cause an enhancement in creep resistance by increasing rupture time and decreasing the minimum creep rate values. On the other hand, using of Findley power law model gives a good agreement to the obtained experimental results.
