AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to accurately predict the long-term macroscopic creep properties of cement-based materials in short-term microscopic tests, especially given that the effects of time scale mismatch and stress level differences under different test conditions are not fully considered.
A nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic constitutive model based on stress correlation is constructed. Through nano-micro indentation experiments and genetic algorithm inversion, combined with finite element analysis, a cross-scale prediction method for micro and macro creep behavior is established. The method considers the variation of viscosity parameters with stress level and achieves a unified characterization of creep characteristic time.
Without conducting long-term macro creep tests, short-time nano-micro indentation test data enabled the effective prediction of the macro creep properties of cement paste, shortening the evaluation cycle, improving prediction accuracy and stability, and overcoming the problem of time scale mismatch.
