Creep rig mechanical data from an olivine bicrystal experiment (NERC Grant NE/M000060/1)
Mechanical datasets of a creep rig experiment which quantified grain boundary sliding in an olivine bicrystal sample. A single test was performed for 4 x 104 s at a maximum temperature of 1400 °C. The data from the experiment are presented in a spreadsheet of mechanical data (piston force and linear displacement per time and furnace temperature). A picture of the experimental geometry used and electron backscatter and graphs obtained from the mechanical data are included. The results showed that it is possible to simulate boundary sliding along bicrystal surfaces in a creep rig

- Statement
- A synthetic forsterite bicrystal with known boundary misorientation was manufactured and cut to size (~mm3). The sample was mounted between two angled alumina pistons with ridges cut into their surface to secure each side of the bicrystal and promote sliding along the boundary. The sample assembly was mounted in a creep rig at the University of Liverpool and taken to experimental temperature, before a load was applied to initiate boundary sliding. Piston force and linear displacement during the experiment were recorded using LabView.
