creep properties

Creep properties describe how materials gradually deform or stretch over time when subjected to a constant stress or load, especially at high temperatures. It’s like a metal rod slowlyelongating when heated under continuous pressure. Creep occurs in many materials, such as metals used in engines or power plants, and can compromise their strength and durability. Understanding creep helps engineers predict a material's long-term behavior, ensuring safety and reliability in applications where components are exposed to sustained forces over extended periods.
