Over the years, numerous creep laws were developed for prediction ofthe deformation, damage evolution, and rupture of the materials subjected to creep phenomena. One of themost widely used creep material models for numerical analysis is Omega model, developed by AmericanPetroleum Institute and Material Properties Council, to describe fitness for service engineering assessment ofmechanical equipment to ensure safe and reliable service life. However, the Omega model is not readilyavailable and directly integrated into Abaqus software codes, and the creep data is scarce for a completeanalysis. Therefore, the extrapolation of creep behaviour has been performed by fitting different forms ofcreep models with a small number of creep data and then simulating beyond the available data points. In thisstudy, a creep analysis has been conducted on a steel cylinder vessel, to predict time-dependent plasticdeformation as well as creep behavior at elevated temperatures under constant stresses. A curve fittingtechnique called regression analysis has been used in combination with Norton-Bailey model, based on API579 standard values. Different creep strain rates on material, stress and temperature- dependent were obtainedfrom the Omega model (MPC project Omega). In addition, as the strain rates increased exponentially with thestresses, regression analysis was used for predicting creep parameters to fit into Norton-Bailey model. Theuncertainties in extrapolations and material constants has highlighted to necessitate conservative safety factorsfor design requirement. The results indicated that the inner walls of the cylinder vessel exhibit uniformsecondary creep deformation, under constantly applied pressure. The analysis formed the basis for the designof thick- walled cylinder when exposed to internal pressure for long time. The study proved the significanceof FEA in predicting creep deformation and damage evolution of steel components

CPCs have been proposed and investigated by many researchers for concentrating PV applications. This article presents a comprehensive review of recent developments in CPC designs and applications for PV systems. This work mainly focuses on identifying the major challenges and research opportunities related to the design and development of CPCs, rendering them more beneficial for solar energy conversion. It has been found that although the outputs of CPC-based PV systems are superior to
their counterparts without CPCs, some challenges still exist that need to be addressed to enable the commercialization of CPC-based solar systems. The primary sources of energy losses in CPCs include imperfections in the reflecting surfaces, non-uniform solar flux distribution on the receiver surface, solar cell series resistance, increased solar cell temperature due to solar radiation concentration, and relatively low concentration ratios achievable by CPCs. Finally, future recommendations have been
outlined, highlighting the potential research opportunities and challenges being faced by prospective researchers working in the field of low concentrating solar PV systems.
presents a review of the five established models which are Norton Bailey, Omega, Kachanov-Rabotnov, Theta projection and Sine hyperbolic models. In depth analysis of these five creep models was conducted, highlighting the significance of their application and the demerits of their usage. First, creep phenomenon was explained, followed by creep mechanism and creep crack growth characterization. Historical development of the models was explained briefly followed by creep material models limitations. With the help of case studies, pros and cons of using the models were further highlighted and comparison was drawn among the models. Finally, future development of creep prediction models and their scope came into limelight. It is anticipated that this review paper will become a reliable reference for the selection of creep prediction models.
