This note is aimed at highlighting hat may be inaccurate thinking of the nature of cold (logarithmic) creep ‐ i.e. creep hich may be observed in most steels at room temperature (20d̀C). There is a dearth of information on this topic although engineers have come to regard cold creep as a ‘time dependent plastic’ deformation. As such it is assumed that the assumptions of plasticity are obeyed during the creep process.
