Provides information from around the world on creep in multiple high-temperature metals, alloys, and advanced materials.

Our rationale for the second edition remains the same as for the first edition, which appeared over twenty years ago. This is to offer simplified, useful and ea

Provides a short survey of recent advances in the mathematical modelling of the mechanical behavior of anisotropic solids under creep conditions, including prin
