Elastic creep by crack growth is proposed as a mechanism of creep in polycrystalline ceramics. An analysis shows that in aluminum oxide, creep by crack growth can occur in coarse-grained microstructures and a range of temperature over which contributions of other creep mechanisms to the total creep strain are negligible. Elastic or compliance creep is the deformation which occurs as the result of a time-dependent decrease in the elastic moduli of a material under load.
