Strain replication is especially useful for materials that do not exhibit creep<br />
void formation until late in their service life. As long as the strain calculations<br />
indicate a linear relationship between strain and time, the material is still said<br />
to be in the second stage region on the creep curve (see Fig. 62 and Table<br />
14). When the relationship deviates from linearity, the material has begun<br />
third stage or tertiary creep, where the strain rate can become unstable.<br />
