After deformation. Compare smooth outer surface to bumpy surface of 635--another obvious sign of GSS creep behavior. |
Legend: Upper graph of each pair is motor speed V (proportional to edot); lower graph is load (in volts). Translate motor V to edot thus: V0.025 = 2.3e-7/s = 2%/day. Load to stress translation for ice636 is 0.272 MPa/mV, with a ~5 mV zero offset. Horizontal scale is time. 5000≈14 hrs. |

e=0.231 | 0609 hrs 1/18/11. Note slowly but steadily decreasing V in steps (2) and (4) vs (1) and (3), probably just reflecting constant edot as the sample shortens. | |

e=0.215 | 2231 hrs. Another LN warming incident, this one a 4 K rise and back over ~ 2 hrs, so not as bad as the one on 1/15. This one was probably a defective tank. Recovery was smooth, and edot returned to where it was. Details in the log file above. | |

e=0.105 | 1803 hrs. Steady state edot achieved rapidly, n = 2 almost exactly, so even tho 50:50 mix, rheological action looks like pure GSS. | |

e=0.089 | 1241 hrs. End step (1). Unloaded force gage check again gives very nice answer, down only 0.2 mV to ~4.5 mV. | |

e=0.084 | 0658 hrs 1/15. Mildly serious T incident: Tank change monkey neglected to open the liquid valve on new tank. Caught the error at 2120 hrs, blast LN immediately, piston T topped out at 216.0 K 10 mins later, was back down to 210 K by 2200 hrs, stress returned to original level a few hours after that. Max udot was V0.10; e intervals at left suggest extra strain was about 0.004. | |
