Grain-boundary sliding redistributes stress within polycrystals. Large stresses may develop locally at triple points and the average stress over the whole boundary changes significantly. The paper reviews several models describing the increase in creep rate brought about by sliding. The effect is shown to be different for diffusion creep and dislocation creep deformation mechanisms.
