In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow deformation while subject to persistent mechanical stresses.It can occur as a result of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the yield strength of the material.
In materials science, Nabarro–Herring creep (NH creep) is a mechanism of deformation of crystalline materials (and amorphous materials [1]) that occurs at low stresses and held at elevated temperatures in fine-grained materials. In Nabarro–Herring creep, atoms diffuse through the crystals, and the rate of creep varies inversely with the ...
In materials that were deformed under very high temperatures, lobate grain boundaries may be taken as evidence for diffusion creep. [7] Diffusion creep is a mechanism by which the volume of the crystals can increase. Larger grain sizes can be a sign that diffusion creep was more effective in a crystalline material.
Diffusional flow can be further broken down into more specific mechanisms: Nabarro–Herring creep, Coble creep, and Harper–Dorn creep. [14] While most materials will exhibit Nabarro-Herring creep and Coble creep, Harper-Dorn creep is quite rare, [20] [21] having only been reported in a select few materials at low stresses including aluminium ...
Dislocation creep is a deformation mechanism in crystalline materials. Dislocation creep involves the movement of dislocations through the crystal lattice of the material, in contrast to diffusion creep , in which diffusion (of vacancies) is the dominant creep mechanism.
Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is a type of creep characterized by the slow, downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress.

Creep is the flow of material at high temperatures; Fatigue is crack growth and propagation due to repeated loading; Oxidation is a change in the chemical composition of the material due to environmental factors. The oxidized material is more brittle and prone to crack creation.
