20% of plastics failures occur due to creep. Suprisingly, the effect of time & temperature on plastic parts is missing in most failure analysis studies & that's the only way to detect creep rupture. Without noticing the origin of creep in plastics parts, people may not be able to relate their part failure to creep and end up focusing their solving efforts on the wrong factor ...
1. Save time & efforts to solve creep failure by extracting relevant info (useful life time, creep properties, thermal stability...) from your test results
2. Wisely optimize your plastics part-design by understanding the effect of different factors influencing creep rupture (plastic type/formation, stress type & magnitude, temperature, design features….)
3. Extend lifetime of your plastics products in a service application with real-life case studies on creep failure prediction & prevention strategies
