ABSTRACT
Molecular dynamics (MD)?based study of the creep behavior of nanomaterials is imperative to get an insight into the high-temperature behavior of materials at the nanoscale level, in order to widen the application domain of nanomaterials to high-temperature services. In this chapter, intricate details of the creep behavior of nanomaterials subjected to various combinations of test parameters have been provided. Moreover, an elaborate discussion on the various structural changes during the creep deformation has been presented, and the influence of defects, grain size, and alloying element on the structural changes, consequently affecting the creep behavior, have been discussed. Lastly, the operative mechanism responsible for the creep behavior of nanomaterials has been discussed extensively.
