a.Consider a component (you decide) in an aircraft that is subjected to creep. What standard creep reduction techniques would be best suited?
b.How does temperature affect creep rates and why?
c.Is there a difference between metals and plastics with creep failure?
d.Use the Hunt Library or a preferred one to explain constant stress or constant strain testing for plastics. What time scales are reasonable to test and determine with confidence?
