Abstract
IN order to examine the nature of the interaction between the processes of creep, fatigue and recovery, some preliminary experiments have been conducted at room temperature on metals of low melting point. The tensile creep stress in these experiments was imposed by means of a mechanical spring system. The fatigue stress (also tensile) was applied by an electromagnetic vibrator and was detected and measured using a barium titanate crystal incorporated in the specimen grips.
