Coble creepCoble Creep is named after Robert L. Coble, who first reported his theory of how materials creep over time in 1962 in the Journal of Applied Physics[1] . Coble Creep occurs through the diffusion of atoms in a material along the grain boundaries, which produces a net flow of material and a sliding of the grain boundaries. The strain rate in a material experiencing Coble Creep is given by: Additional recommended knowledge

Note that in Coble Creep, the strain rate is proportional to the applied stress σ; the same relationship is found for Nabarro-Herring Creep. However, the two mechanisms differ in their relationship between the strain rate and grain size d. In Coble Creep, the strain rate is proportional to d − 3, whereas the strain rate in Nabarro-Herring Creep is proportional to d − 2. Researchers commonly use these relationships to determine which mechanism is dominant in a material; by varying the grain size and measuring how the strain rate is affected, they can determine the value of n in and conclude whether Coble or Nabarro-Herring Creep is dominant[1].
