Creep is a phenomenon of a sample to deform against time at particular temperature. Creep is the tendency of a solid material to slowly move or deform permanently under the influence of stresses. It occurs as a result of long term exposure to levels of stress that are below the yield strength or ultimate strength of the material. Creep is more severe in materials that are subjected to heat for long periods, and near the melting point

That creep?!

A creep meter is a wire stretched across a fault to measure the horizontal movement from the ground.
Modulus of rupture > Splitting strength > Direct tensile strength
Ultimate strength is used for materials that yield before breaking, like metals; rupture strength is for materials that break suddenly, like glass. Ultimate rupture strength would imply some yield strength before finally breaking and is not a preferred term for brittle materials like glass.

Modulus of rupture is the ability of a material to resist deformation when load is applied. It is used as a mechanical parameter to test the brittleness of a material. It is also known as bend strength, fracture strength, or flexural strength.

The modulus of rupture is the same as the breaking strength. It is a term used for ceramics where strength is dependent upon statistical distribution of flaw size, flaw shape, and moisture.
Per ASTM C78, the flexural strength of concrete (or the Modulus of Rupture) can be derived from the following equation:fc' = R2 / 100where:fc' = compressive strength (psi)R= Modulus of Rupture (psi)

Seismic creep is the constant or periodic movement on a fault as contrasted with the sudden rupture associated with an earthquake. It is an usually slow deformation of rock resulting from constant stress being applied over a period of time.
