Creepfractuur
Creepfractuur is a term used to describe a type of fracture that occurs in materials under sustained load at elevated temperatures. It is a time-dependent deformation that leads to failure. Unlike brittle fracture, which happens suddenly, creepfractuur develops gradually over time. The process involves the slow movement of atoms or dislocations within the material's microstructure, which can eventually lead to the formation and propagation of cracks.
The rate of creepfractuur is influenced by several factors, including the applied stress, temperature, and the
Understanding creepfractuur is crucial for ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of structures and components. Engineers
