Abstract
A high‐sensitivity creep tester has been built to measure creep rates of the order of 10−11 sec−1. The high sensitivity is achieved by measuring the differential displacement between a loaded sample and a reference sample, thus compensating for fluctuations caused by thermal expansion. Creep measurements at these low strain rates should be of importance in the fundamental and applied study of creep in metals, ceramics, and polymers.Keywords
