Key Points

This research aims to understand how gels and fibre network materials deform over time and yield under constant stress.
Studied athermal gels and fibre network materials using computational simulations.
Focused on a minimal model of interconnected filaments with central forces under constant shear stress.
Demonstrated that viscoelastic and elastoplastic behaviors are significant in the materials studied.
Found that the extent of creep varies with the applied shear stress levels.
