摘要

In this paper, we have investigated the size and shape effects on creep and diffusion phenomena at the nanoscale. From a classical thermodynamic model, the higher diffusion of nanostructures is explained. As creep is particularly due to diffusion processes, it is therefore important to consider it at the nanoscale. Therefore, to be able to control creep in the nanoworld, temperature and stress thresholds, taking into account the size and shape of the nanostructure, are defined.
