Creep–fatigue interaction damage evolution of the nuclear engineering materials modified 9Cr–1Mo steel is studied with Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) theory. Based on the Norton creep damage and fatigue dissipate potential theory, an effective stress controlled creep–fatigue interaction damage model has been developed in this paper, in which the creep and fatigue damage function are both considered as nonlinear variables. The damage evolution function consists of the stress amplitude and the range of mean strain. The damage parameters in the model have clear physical meaning and can be determined easily. A stress controlled creep–fatigue interaction experiment has been performed with the P91 steel to obtain the damage model. The experimental results indicated that the damage model is applicable to describe the damage evolution for creep–fatigue interaction.
► Stress controlled creep–fatigue interaction test was carried out. ► A damage model of creep–fatigue interaction was obtained. ► The model is convenient to estimate the damage for P91 steel.
