Creep Behavior of Metallic Materials

Abstract

This paper presents the theoretical aspect of the creep behavior in materials, particularly in metallic materials. Different creep mechanisms were displayed. The main models developed to determine or extrapolate the rupture time of materials were presented. Some real case studies of the creep phenomenon in metallic materials were presented. In addition, to give a more understanding of the creep behavior in metallic materials, the most important results of some selected and recent investigations were also discussed.
