Question 5 / 40:  How does creep differ from fatigue?
A  Creep refers to slow deformation resulting in change in macroscopic shape; fatigue refers to
the weakening of material over time caused by repeated use or loading.
B  They do not differ.
C  Creep refers to the overall weakening of a material through pressure; fatigue refers to the
weakening that occurs at susceptible stress points.
D  Creep is temperature dependent; fatigue is not.
E  Creep is more significant for very large pieces than fatigue; fatigue is more important for
small pieces that fail as a result of small-crack propagation.

Explanation:

Creep is slow, permanent deformation under small loads. You may refer to the reading for sub-subunit 3.3.5.
