Creep

Stages of creep
1. Instantaneous deformation,
mainly elastic.
2. Primary/transient creep. Slope of
strain vs. time decreases with time:
work-hardening
3. Secondary/steady-state creep.
Rate of straining is constant: balance
of work-hardening and recovery.
4. Tertiary. Rapidly accelerating strain
rate up to failure: formation of
internal cracks, voids, grain boundary
separation, necking, etc.
