Creep

Are you building a reactor? Becoming an engineer? I am wondering why you put this in the baby & pregnancy catagory?

Creep is experienced by materials when they are subjected to a certain stress. It is a time dependent process. In other words, in order for the effects of creep to build up, time must be allowed. The effect of creep is a permanent, irreversible deformation. The stress that causes creep is usually less than the yield stress of a material. Creep is undesirable because it results in change of geometry of components and eventually in their failure.

In babie's "creeping" is the dragging motion the precedes true crawling.
