	Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Creep is the term used to describe the tendency of a material to move or to deform permanently to relieve stresses.
		Creep is not necessarily a failure mode, but is instead a damage mechanism.
		Creep arises from this because of the phenomenon of dislocation climb.

	LJ Gibson Trabecular Bone
		In an attempt to determine the phase (collagen or hydroxy-apatite) responsible for these similar creep behaviors, we investigated the creep behavior of demineralized cortical bone, recognizing that the organic (i.e., demineralized) matrix of both cortical and trabecular bone is composed primarily of type I collagen.
		The creep behavior was characterized by the three classical stages of decreasing, constant, and increasing creep rates at all applied normalized stresses and temperatures.
		Creep failure was also studied using a single cell analysis, in which a closed-form solution was obtained after prescribing the creep properties of the trabeculae.

		Recently, brittle, intergranular failures of nickel alloy fasteners and bar stock have occurred despite the absence of a hydrogen-producing atmosphere at room temperature.
		Further study confirmed that although hydrogen was not involved in these failures, the mode of failure was brittle, intergranular in appearance and exhibited a temperature and rate-dependence [4].
		This rate-dependent, intergranular failure mode was observed at temperatures as low as 21o C but became more severe as the temperature increased to the maximum test temperature of 370o C. Traditional loading rate and temperature dependent phenomena known to occur in nickel alloys include hydrogen-assisted cracking, creep and dynamic strain aging (DSA).

	LWR Fuel Pin Performance During Burnup
		Newer fuel designs eliminate this failure mode by internally pressurizing the fuel pins with helium and by using sintering techniques which eliminate small pores and increasing the density of the final fuel to around 95% TD, thereby significantly reducing the degree of densification of the fuel.
		This mode of failure is referred to as primary hydriding and a rod may be operated for years during the formation of this defect without failure.
		Failure of fuel rods may also occur as the result of wear at contacts points between the cladding and the spacer grid caused by flow induced vibrations.

		In civil and mechanical engineering, the property of a solid, typically a metal, under continuous stress that causes it to deform below its yield point (the point at which any elastic solid normally stretches without any increase in load or stress).
		Lead, tin, and zinc, for example, exhibit creep at ordinary temperatures, as seen in the movement of the lead sheeting on the roofs of old buildings.
		It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.

	Stress and its effect on materials
		Failure by fatigue is the result of processes of crack nucleation and growth, or, in the case of components which may contain a crack introduced during manufacture, the result of crack growth only brought about by the application of cyclical stresses.
		Creep is observed in all material types – in metals it only becomes important at temperatures greater than about 0.4Tm (where Tm is the melting point in Kelvin).
		A third mode of failure is caused by the presence of ‘stress raisers’.

		Both structural creep as well as time-dependent fracture are governed by the high temperature viscoelastic behavior of the matrix material.
		To gain insight into the fatigue failure process, the development of microscopic energy absorption processes are studied at the tip of propagating cracks through the development of "crazes".
		Failure is then the result of the coalescence of these microflaws into a macroscopic fracture.

	Landslide Types and Processes
		Creep: Creep is the imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement of slope-forming soil or rock.
		There are generally three types of creep: (1) seasonal, where movement is within the depth of soil affected by seasonal changes in soil moisture and soil temperature; (2) continuous, where shear stress continuously exceeds the strength of the material; and (3) progressive, where slopes are reaching the point of failure as other types of mass movements.
		Creep is indicated by curved tree trunks, bent fences or retaining walls, tilted poles or fences, and small soil ripples or ridges (fig.

	MEMS and Reliability
		Many MEMS device failures are introduced in the fabrication process, and many failure modes in operation are related to the fabrication process.
		Conventional failure modes such as fatigue induced fracture did not occur, indicating that the devices are mechanically extremely robust.
		Precursors to failure are observed, enabling further understanding of the microscopic changes that occur in the sliding surfaces that ultimately lead to failure.

	Failure Analysis
		The failures can also be tragic on a monumental scale, as in the case of a wide body aircraft which suffered an engine departure on take-off ("engine departure" is a euphemism for an engine falling off).
		Because engineering failures can be so costly in terms of human suffering and financial losses, parties harmed by a failure often seek recompense for their damages.
		Possible failure scenarios included: roughening of the surface with rough spots acting as fatigue initiation sites; heat damage due to friction between the workpiece and the beads; solid metal embrittlement due to lead and cadmium in recycled blasting media.

	Failure Analysis - Structural Analysis, Inc.
		Failure Analysis as applied to the Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Structures is the investigative procedure involved in determination of the cause and effect that results in failure of a mechanical system to function as designed.
		The failure mode can be complete and catastrophic structural failure or, simply, failure to meet specified design goals.
		Failure analysis is often used to develop the background necessary for expert testimony.

	Structural failure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural failure refers to loss of the load-carrying capacity of a component or member within the structure or of the structure itself.
		Structural failure is initiated when the material is stressed to its strength limit, thus causing fracture or excessive deformations.
		Ultimate failure strength is one of the limit states that must be accounted for in civil engineering.

	Disposable article construction adhesive - Patent 5057571
		In sharp contrast to bond elastic materials to substrates, a different adhesive is currently used that primarily exhibits high creep resistance to ensure that the elastic, when under stress, does not move relative to the surface of the substrate or become partially or fully detached.
		The dynamic peel adhesion test indicates that the Schmidt adhesive bond between nonwoven and polyethylene is subject to adhesive failure, while the adhesive of the invention maintains the integrity of the bond until the substrate itself fails.
		With respect to elastic attachment properties, Example A and Example B have a creep failure of the elastic attachment of 77.5% and 71%, respectively, indicating that the elastic once bonded to the polyethylene backing sheet could lose a substantial proportion of its stretch during use.

	MAGNET WIRE CONNECTIONS IN TRANSFORMERS
		The reasons for this loosening tendency are a combination of vibration, cold flow or creep of the materials, and repeated expansion and contraction of the connection due to load cycle changes, and ambient temperature changes.
		The areas most prone to failure with this type of connector are moving equipment, such as motors, and their related driven equipment which due to the motion are subject to mechanical shock and vibrations.
		This “Spring Compression” assures that the initial pressure obtained in the self crimping process, is retained throughout the life of the connection, and compensates for thermal expansion and contraction, conductor cold flow, and vibration.
