Which structural collapse happens when adhesives experience sustained loading?

💡 Explanation

Creep rupture causes failure because constant stress causes gradual deformation by the mechanism of bond slip at the adhesive-adherend interface below yield strength, therefore overall bondstrength decreases rather than changes in volume with corrosion.
