摘要

This research investigates the application of the novel Wilshire–Cano–Stewart (WCS) methodology for predicting both creep deformation characteristics and extended service lifespan of India-specific Reduced Activation Ferritic Martensitic steel. Uniaxial creep experiments were conducted at 823 K and stress conditions ranging from 200 to 260 MPa. The differential equations governing creep strain and damage in the WCS model were resolved through finite element analysis implemented via ABAQUS software. Statistical evaluation using the normalized mean square error scatter index demonstrated that the WCS model accurately reproduces experimental creep behavior with average relative deviation below 10%. Furthermore, the WCS approach demonstrated the capability to extrapolate creep life to 100,000 h or more using relatively short-term experimental data covering only 7,000 h of testing.
