creep_rupture_curves

class reliability.PoF.creep_rupture_curves(temp_array, stress_array, TTF_array, stress_trace=None, temp_trace=None)

This function plots the creep rupture curves for a given set of creep data. It also fits the lines of best fit to each temperature.

The time to failure for a given temperature can be found by specifying stress_trace and temp_trace.

Parameters:

  • temp_array (array, list) – The temperatures

  • stress_array (array, list) – The stresses

  • TTF_array (array, list) – The times to failure at the given temperatures and stresses

  • stress_trace (float, int, optional) – The stress value used to determine the time to failure. Both stress_trace and temp_trace must be provided to calculate the time to failure.

  • temp_trace (float, int) – The temperature value used to determine the time to failure. Both stress_trace and temp_trace must be provided to calculate the time to failure.

Returns:

None – The plot is the only output. Use plt.show() to show it.
