## A cumulative damage theory is developed based on the concept of bounds on residual life. Previous results applicable to fatigue are generalized to creep-rupture and to creepfatigue interaction. By defining a creep endurance limit and void-initiation life fractions, a complete symmetry is establ

β¦ Synopsis
We construct a three-dimensional theory of a material in which damage may occur in creep. In the one-dimensional case the differential equations are simple enough so that they may be studied exactly, but complicated enough to exhibit a variety of interesting phenomena. Solutions are found to be homogeneous damage fields, coexistent homogeneous damage fields separated by singular surfaces, an homogeneous undamaged body with a smooth transition into a damaged region in the interior, which may be interpreted as a shear band, and periodic solutions with transitions between damaged and undamaged regions.

In order to identify structural multiple damage locations, an improved evidence theory is proposed in this paper. First, the changes of frequencies and mode shapes are regarded as two different information sources, and local decisions can be obtained by using the multiple damage location assurance c
The goal of the present work is to modify structure of the creep constitutive equations existing in the literature, and simultaneously to incorporate both damage induced anisotropy and unilateral damage into the constitutive model. The proposed nonlinear-tensor constitutive equation for creep togeth
