“…They led to the sophisticated, test-specific stress-strain relations shown in Fig. 1 : - Strain-controlled relaxation fatigue (RF) test with strain-controlled three-minute dwell times (DT) at minimum and maximum strain (referred to as DT min and DT max ) in each cycle [1 , 2] ;
- service-like relaxation fatigue (SLR) with strain-controlled three-minute DT min and DT max and additional 30-minute dwells at constant strain (ε = 0, which represent steady-state operation (therefore designated as SSO(SLR) periods) [1] , and
- service-like creep-fatigue (SLC) with strain-controlled three-minute DT min and DT max and additional 30-minute dwells at constant stress [σ(ε = 0)] (designated as SSO(SLC) periods) [1] .
