Can anybody provide a source for HDPE creep constants compatible with the Maxwell-Kelvin creep model in Nastran SOL106 or Power Law constants?

The Polyethyline Pipe Institute has some good design information on high density polyethelyne. Their website is Search their website for "PPI Handbook of Polyethylene Pipe." I believe Chapter 3, Engineering Properties, will have what you are looking for.
 
This is very helpful; thankyou. If I read this correctly, the article advocates use of a tensile creep modulus (Figure 11) to run static stress at discreet time points, to obtain strain. Do you concur?
