Introduction:
Creep is the deformation of a solid material due to the effect of constant mechanical
stress at elevated temperatures, greater than a third of the melting point. It is an outcome of a
long term exposure of load at elevated temperatures, diffusion driven, which results in a
permanent deformation and rupture of the material.
In this experiment, the creep behavior was studied on Dr. Engblom’s plastic wood
sample, which is a composite of plastic and wood shavings and is at a temperature greater than a
third of it’s melting point just at room temperature. The study was conducted by applying
constant load on the sample and measuring the deflection as a function of time.

Experimental Procedure:
Figure 1 below shows the overall setup of the apparatus. The wood sample is held by two
stands with clamps on both sides. A jominy bar was placed above the middle of the wood sample
to apply the constant static load and a dial gage was placed under the sample to measure the
deflection as time progresses. The following equation was used to calculate creep:
Creep=dϵdt
=K σn exp (−EcreepRT )Where K, n, and Ecreep are constants that are experimentally determined
Ecreep is the activation energy for creep
n is the creep exponent
R is the gas constant
T is the temperature in Kelvin
is the stress
dϵ is the change in strain
dt is the change in time
