MCREEP
MCREEP package fits various pre-defined models to creep data.
The package can process both tensile and indentation creep measuremenents
in such a way that the results from the two methods are comparable.
- The creep data:
- A text file with two columns.
- The 1st column = time, the 2nd column = deformation.
- Deformation = strain (for tensile) or penetration depth (for indentation).
- The pre-defined models within the pagkage are:
- Simple empirical models = Power law, Nutting's law.
- Phenomenological models = elasto-visco-plastic models = EVP models.
- The theory and models are described in the open-acces publication:
- Materials 16 (2023) 834. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16020834
- If you use MCREEP in your research, please cite the publication above.
Quick start
- Install MCREEP:
pip install mcreep - Download the demo package, unzip it, and follow the instructions in readme file.
- Basically, you just run the unzipped PY-script and see the results.
- The PY-script should run anywhere, but the recommended environment is Spyder.
- The output (in Spyder) should look like in this PrintScreen.
Installation, documentation and examples
- MCREEP is available at
PyPI
⇒ installation:
pip install mcreep - Home page of the project is at GitHub and GitHub pages.
- Docs and examples are summarized at GitHub pages.
- All modules, classes and functions are documented by docstrings.
- Full documentation was auto-generated from docstrings by PDoc.
Versions of MCREEP
- Version 1.0 = finalized, working for both tensile and indentation creep
- Version 1.1 = a few important improvements, better documentation
