Creep is a time dependent deformation process that happens to materials under a certain stress level. However, with proper design and material choices, thermoplastics can be a suitable material for ...

Viscoelastic compounds show time-dependent elongation under a constant load, a characteristic known as creep. They act like liquids under this type of strain, but recover partially once the strain is ...

Creep and Stress Rupture testing evaluates the behavior of materials (plastics, metals, composites, and ceramics) under prolonged stress, and usually elevated temperatures to simulate conditions that ...
