Question

Creep of a material is a property indicated by

• A. a time dependent strain of the material
• B. elongation of the material due to changes in the material properties
• C. shortening caused by shrinkage of the member
• D. the decrease in the volume of the material affected by the weather conditions

Answer 1

The correct option is A a time dependent strain of the material

Creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the property of materials that results in progressive deformation when a constant load is applied over time. Deformation occurs as a result of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the yield strength of the material
