Q: What happens when we attach a very heavy weight to a wire at relatively low temperature? A: The wire snaps right away! Q: What happens when we hang a lighter weight from the wire at a higher ...

Plastic strain refers to non-elastic deformation and can occur during specimen loading in a creep test. Plastic deformation can be measured using the hot-stepped loading process when the test is ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...
