It has been shown that the model is able to describe primary Primary creep regeneration creep regeneration PCR . the incidence of a period of high creep strain rate following a stress reversal. The Chaboche model developed model is a variant of the well-known Chaboche viscoplastic constitutive model and employs a bi-term Stress-varying creep loading power-law equation to represent the stress-regime dependence of the viscoplastic strain rate response. Back stress 10 Cr steel and drag stress are used to describe the kinematic and isotropic hardening softening behaviour of the material respectively. The evolutions of back stress and drag stress consider contributions from strain hardening dynamic softening static recovery and cyclic hardening softening. The effectiveness of the developed model for describing the sensitivity of the PCR behaviour to different loading parameters . reverse-loading magnitude and duration and to represent the effect of PCR activation on the overall strain accumulation behaviour of the material is discussed. Furthermore the predictive capability of the model is demonstrated for describing the response of the material
