Converting creep parameters

Hello,

I want to define creep using Bailey-Norton law. I found material parameters in literature for the parameter A given in units MPa^(-n) s^(-m-1). Could you please help me how to convert the given value for A to the SI units? The values are shown in the attached figure.

Kind regards
Asim

Hi Asim!

Have not worked through the paper but it seems like equation 6 in this paper might help: [PDF] The Application of the Norton-Bailey Law for Creep Prediction Through Power Law Regression | Semantic Scholar - also when using the powerlaw for \dot{\epsilon} you can use a reference stress to make A non-dimensional which gives you something that is in SI units. Maybe someone else can add some more thoughts here :slight_smile: Let me know if my impetus helped here.

Best,

Jousef

Thanks Hamza! Yes I was looking for this.

@jousefm The paper seems interesting. Certainly, I will go through it.

Thanks for your prompt responses.

Kind regards

I think the key is to know the units of A. For Strain hardening case, the units of A are as shown below.
