Creep in metals is the gradual deformation that occurs when a material is subjected to constant stress over an extended period, especially at elevated temperatures. This phenomenon is particularly critical in high-temperature applications, such as in turbines or reactors, where materials are under sustained load. Creep is characterized by three stages: primary (decelerating), secondary (steady-state), and tertiary (accelerating) creep. Understanding creep is essential for predicting material lifespan and ensuring structural integrity in engineering applications.
Creep is the slow, time-dependent deformation of materials under sustained stress, typically occurring at high temperatures relative to the material's melting point. It is caused by the movement of dislocations and grain boundaries within the material's microstructure, influenced by factors such as temperature, stress levels, and the material's inherent properties. Commonly observed in metals and polymers, creep can lead to significant changes in shape and integrity over time, particularly in applications like turbine blades and structural components.

That creep?!
A creep meter is a wire stretched across a fault to measure the horizontal movement from the ground.

Creep formation occurs when a material gradually deforms under constant stress over time, typically at high temperatures. This phenomenon is most common in metals and polymers, where the atomic structure allows for movement, leading to elongation or other changes in shape. Factors influencing creep include temperature, applied stress, and material properties. In engineering, understanding creep is crucial for designing components that can withstand long-term loading without failure.

Yes, creep is a noun, as in "he was a creep". It can also be a verb, as in "he crept along".
Cause a Creep creep's up on someone slowly and a Creep is very slow
