This research performs experimental and analytical investigations into          the statistics of the scatter in time-to-failure data from creep                rupture tests.  Available experimental data in creep rupture show               considerable scatters and variations.  Mechanics research, thus far,            has not quantified the nature of such scatters or accounted for it in           the design of structures.  The research consists of two parallel                phases.  The first phase is an experimental investigation into the              statistics of rupture in biocrystals and other simple structures.  The          second phase is the construction of microstructurally-based analytical          models which will allow probablistic predictions of time-to-failure.            The results of this research will provide new and fundamental insight           into the probablistic aspects of the creep rupture process in simple            crystalline structures and will help to lay the foundations to                  understand the actual nature of the creep rupture of complicated                poly-crystalline structures.
