1. creep (gradual deformation of a solid under stress)
2. creep (of an automatic-transmission vehicle); idle creep; idle speed
3. Creep (deformation)In materials science, creep is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of stresses. It occurs as a result of long term exposure to high levels of stress that are below the yield strength of the material. Creep is more severe in materials that are subjected to heat for long periods, and near melting point. Creep always increases with temperature.
