Enter the creep strain and the strain due to permanent stress into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Creep Factor. 

Creep Factor Formula

CF = CS / SPS

Variables:

  • CF is the Creep Factor ()
  • CS is the creep strain
  • SPS is the strain due to permanent stress

To calculate the Creep Factor, divide the cree strain by the strain due to permanent stress.

How to Calculate Creep Factor?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Creep Factor.

  1. First, determine the creep strain. 
  2. Next, determine the strain due to permanent stress. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = CF = CS / SPS.
  4. Finally, calculate the Creep Factor.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

creep strain = 1500

strain due to permanent stress = 3000
