Creep Deformation Apparatus - Product Showcase

📊🔬 Dive into the fascinating world of material deformation and discover how scientists derive laws describing the flow of materials. Our creep deformation kit allows you to measure the creep of wax in the lab, recording real data in real-time.
Rocks can deform in two primary ways: brittle or ductile. Brittle deformation, associated with earthquakes, occurs in the cold upper crust where rocks store energy until they break. Ductile deformation involves the slow movement of material under extreme pressures and high temperatures deep within the Earth. Creep deformation is a key aspect of ductile deformation, playing a crucial role in tectonic scale processes and mantle flow.
There are different styles of creep, such as diffusion and dislocation creep. Diffusion creep involves the movement of vacancies in a crystal's structure and is associated with higher temperatures. Dislocation creep, dominant at lower temperatures, involves the movement of imperfections in the crystal. This kit helps illustrate these complex concepts using paraffin wax, a material that simulates rocks at room conditions.
Learn how scientists use the homologous temperature to describe a material's temperature relative to its melting point and how strain and strain rate are used to quantify deformation. Understand the power law relationship of dislocation creep and explore different testing methods like the constant load test, also known as the "dead weight" test.
Our Creep Deformation Apparatus provides a hands-on learning experience, making it perfect for classrooms. By conducting experiments, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how rocks move and deform over geologic time. Compare your results with those of other scientists and classmates to see the universal principles of material deformation in action.
