How is the creep relaxation?
Are there characteristic time scales?
Does the system reach a stationary state? How is it?
Does the system freeze in metastable configurations?
Are there frustrated dislocations, i.e. trapped for example between dislocation clusters?

the annihilation of a pair?

This law has also been observed in creep experiments performed on polymeric materials such as: celluloid, polyisoprene, polystyrene, methyl methacrylate,...
(J.D. Ferry, Viscoelastic properties of polymers), and other glass-forming materials (see R.H. Colby PRE 61 (2000) 1783 and references therein).

NON-EQUILIBRIUM CRITICAL SCENARIOCheck robustness and coherence
•“ During creep the rate of flow is limited because of thermal fluctuations are required to bring it about.• Yield stress=Applied stress at which flow can occur without help from thermal fluctuations.• At the beginning of creep, applied stress = “critical” yield stress, so that the activation energy required is small.•As the creep strain the yield stress progressively above the applied stress. Larger thermal fluctuations are then needed which do not occur as frequently, and the rate of flow slows down. •If a stage is reached where the yield stress no longer rises, a steady-state creep is observed.”
•RECENT THEORIES (1990’s) BY THE SAME AND OTHER AUTHORS STILL RELY ON THE SAME “EQUILIBRIUM” IDEAS.• A MAJOR SUBJECT OF DEBATE WITHIN THE DISLOCATION COMMUNITY.
