Nanoscale origins of creep in calcium silicate hydrates

The nanoscale mechanisms behind the creep of calcium-silicate-hydrates remain difficult to model over long periods of time. Here, the authors use a three-staged incremental stress-marching technique to tie atomistic simulations and nanomechanical experimental measurements together.
