Abstract

In Chap. 2 we learned that a stressed material was at a higher Gibbs Potential and therefore more unstable. The stressed material will spontaneously degrade, but at what rate? We might suspect, and rightfully so, that higher stress levels will make a material even more unstable and therefore accelerate the degradation rate; also, our intuition might suggest that the degradation rate for a material is temperature dependent. This chapter will develop the needed equations that show that this is indeed the case.

Equation (9.1) represents the Boltzmann probability that atoms in the initial state will obtain the necessary energy to go over the barrier to the degraded state. It is possible that the atoms can tunnel through the barrier, but the tunneling probability is very small except for the very lightest of elements such as hydrogen. For nearly all other elements, the Boltzmann probability is usually much greater than the tunneling probability. Boltzmann’s constant is 8.62 × 10−5 eV/K.

Note that since it was assumed that the free energy difference between the initial state and the degraded state was zero, when ξ = 0 then the net degradation rate at low stress levels goes to zero when b is zero.

A Maclaurin series expansion is carried out (keeping only the first term).
