Explanation

In the elasticity range, when the stress and strain are multivalued, the phenomenon that the stress leads to the strain and decreases with time is called. It is a form of anelasticity. For anelastic bodies, stress and strain obey Hooke's law, but it does not hold true at the moment of loading, but it takes some time to reach the value corresponding to Hooke's law (equilibrium value). At this time, the strain increases with time and finally reaches the equilibrium value, which is also called anelasticity creep (micro creep).
