the deformation of a metal or solid material as a result of load or stress over time.
Deformation that occurs over a period of time when a material is subjected to constant stress at constant temperature. In metals, creep usually occurs only at elevated temperatures. Creep at room temperature is more common in plastic materials and is called cold flow or deformation under load. Data obtained in a creep test usually is presented as a plot of creep vs. time with stress and temperature constant. Slope of the curve is creep rate and end point of the curve is time for rupture. As indicated in the accompanying diagram, the creep of a material can be divided into three stages. First stage, or primary creep, starts at a rapid rate and slows with time. Second stage (secondary) creep has a relatively uniform rate. Third stage (tertiary) creep has an accelerating creep rate and terminates by failure of material at time for rupture. See also stress-relaxation.

Creep results from the fact that the long polymer chains tend to slide over each other so that there is a time-dependency to the stress-strain diagram.

In materials science, creep is the term used to describe the tendency of a material to move or to deform permanently to relieve stresses. Material deformation occurs as a result of long term exposure to levels of stress that are below the yield or ultimate strength of the material. Creep is more severe in materials that are subjected to heat for long periods and near melting point.
"Creep" is the seventh track off the album Core, the debut album by the band Stone Temple Pilots. Performed at a lumberingly slow tempo, the song features the chorus, "I'm half the man I used to be." It was the third and final single off of the album.
