Research work has been performed to determine the influence of the multiaxial stress state on failure especially in the creep range: the failure time and creep damage development of both multiaxial loaded specimens as well as component tests have been compared with standard uniaxially loaded creep specimens. It could be demonstrated that multiaxial stress state influences creep damage development, failure time and creep deformation capacity. For design purposes the influence of multiaxiality especially on creep strain limits could be described by using multiaxiality factors.
