HDPE Creep Properties

(OP)
Can anybody provide a source for HDPE creep constants compatible with the Maxwell-Kelvin creep model in Nastran SOL106 or Power Law constants?

RE: HDPE Creep Properties

The Polyethyline Pipe Institute has some good design information on high density polyethelyne. Their website is www.plasticpipe.org. Search their website for "PPI Handbook of Polyethylene Pipe." I believe Chapter 3, Engineering Properties, will have what you are looking for.

RE: HDPE Creep Properties

This is very helpful; thankyou.  If I read this correctly, the article advocates use of a tensile creep modulus (Figure 11) to run static stress at discreet time points, to obtain strain.  Do you concur?
