SIPA creep involves preferential growth of radiation-induced dislocation loops, usually by absorption of interstitials, that are favorably oriented with respect to level stresses. 1, record 2, English, - SIPA%20creep

On sait que la sursaturation de lacunes sous irradiation n'est pas à l'origine d'un fluage thermique accéléré par l'irradiation dans la mesure où celui-ci est contrôlé par la vitesse d'émission de lacunes par les dislocations qui n'est pas modifiée par l'irradiation. Le plus classique des mécanismes de fluage d'irradiation est le fluage APIC (montée des dislocations par absorption préférentielle induite selon la contrainte). Sous l'effet des contraintes, l'absorption préférentielle des interstitiels par les dislocations est modifiée : elle dépend de l'orientation relative du vecteur de Burgers des dislocations par rapport à la contrainte. Celles dont le vecteur de Burgers est «bien» orienté par rapport à la contrainte absorbent plus rapidement les interstitiels. Il en résulte une déformation du matériau à volume constant sous contrainte. Contrairement à la croissance qui provient de l'anisotropie même du matériau, dans le cas du fluage, c'est la contrainte appliquée qui crée l'anisotropie, si bien que ce phénomène s'observe aussi bien dans les matériaux isotropes qu'anisotropes. 1, record 2, French, - fluage%20APIC

The unique results achieved with supercalendering are due to the intermediate fibrous rolls(sometimes referred to as bowls or filled rolls) which possess elastic or plastic properties. With the application of load on the nips, the metal rolls cause a depression or deformation on the fibrous rolls at the point of contact, and the deformation spreads out on either side of the nip(Figure 18-28). When rotated, this spread area will creep because of the constant effort of the material to return to its normal shape. This flow causes a relative motion of the filled roll surface against the metal roll surface, thus producing rolling friction, which helps to give the polishing and smoothing effects. The intensity of action is governed by the amount of plastic flow and by the nip contact pressure. 2, record 3, English, - filled%20roll
