Definitions
Creep is the permanent deformation of a material occurring under a load, increasing over time. A quantitative measure of the creep process creep is most commonly a mathematical relationship, associating the magnitude of creep deformation with parameters such as time, temperature, and stress.
Modern materials, especially modern metallic materials are multicomponent alloys, where, with a fixed chemical composition, it is possible to consciously control (to a certain extent) macroscopic properties of the material through operations such as plastic deformation and heat treatment. Also, the susceptibility of modern materials to creep can be, to some extent, changed by the chemical composition or the previously mentioned operations.
Introduction
Modern functional materials usually belong to groups of metallic, ceramic, polymer materials or mixtures thereof (composites). Metallic materials are...
