On the elastic and creep stress analysis modeling in the oxide scale/metal substrate system due to oxidation growth strain

► The elastic analysis model results confirm the Clarke model. ► A novel simple determination method of growth parameter is proposed and validated. ► The creep analysis model can precisely describe the realistic stress evolutions. ► We find Clarke model can be applied to case considering creep relaxation phenomena. ► The work serves as a basis for experimental work on stress measurement.
