A method for independent prediction of creep damage accumulation on the basis of damage at short term loading and long-term strength is verified for the case of fiber/matrix debonding of injection moulded short glass fibre reinforced polyoximethylene. Small angle scattering X-ray refractometry is applied for damage registration. The method is applicable to materials which display delocalised damage prior to fracture. The predicted damage is compared with the experimental data for damage accumulation in creep.
