a) FEA and Experimental creep damage displacement of specimen 5.

b) All the ten predicted FEA creep damage responses. The FEA simulations of specimen 7 and 8 failed within 2,000 cycles. Note that the simulations predict a considerable variety in creep responses, despite variation in the applied fatigue tensile load (50% of the estimated stiffness as measured in the experiments).
