Set of conversion coefficients for extracting uniaxial creep data from pseudo-steady indentation creep test results

In the present paper, we show that the uniaxial creep data (i.e., applied stress, σ  , and creep rate, ε̇c) can be extracted using a set of conversion coefficients (C1 and C2) obtained from indentation data (i.e., the constant indentation pressure, ps, and constant indentation creep rate, ε̇s) which results in a pseudo-steady deformation state. Finite element simulations showed that sinking-in occurs around an impression for 2≤n<32≤n<3, whereas piling-up occurs for 3
