<p>In <a href="page.php?w=materials_science">materials science</a>, <b>creep</b> (sometimes called <b>cold flow</b>) is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow <a href="page.php?w=Deformation_%28physics%29">deformation</a> while subject to persistent mechanical <a href="page.php?w=Stress_%28mechanics%29">stresses</a>. It can occur as a result of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the <a href="page.php?w=Yield_%28engineering%29">yield strength</a> of the material. Creep is more severe in materials that are subjected</p><p>
