What is the key difference between creep and elastic deformation?
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1Creep occurs instantly when a load is applied, whereas elastic deformation occurs over a long period under constant stress.
- 2Elastic deformation is reversible upon load removal, whereas creep leads to permanent deformation over time under constant stress.✓
- 3Creep occurs only at low temperatures, whereas elastic deformation occurs only at high temperatures.
- 4Elastic deformation depends on time, whereas creep is independent of time.
Correct answer
Elastic deformation is reversible upon load removal, whereas creep leads to permanent deformation over time under constant stress.
