Hard, refractory particles long have been added to ceramic materials to impart creep resistance. The nature of such particles and the volume fraction added may vary widely between different systems. As a result, a rich variety of creep behaviour and of attendant mechanisms is found. A critical survey is presented of the experimental data and of the models developed to rationalize them.
