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 Dr Elisabetta Mariani University of Liverpool Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences Herdman Building, 4 Brownlow Street Liverpool L69 3GP not available originator Enquiries British Geological Survey United Kingdom not available distributor Enquiries British Geological Survey United Kingdom not available pointOfContact notApplicable https://resources.bgs.ac.uk/images/geonetworkThumbs/eac08b73-b920-4092-e053-0937940a6d9d.png Geology GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Shear properties Olivine Creep Physical tests BGS Thesaurus of Geosciences 2022 revision NGDC Deposited Data dataCentre NERC_DDC otherRestrictions restricted The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section.

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.
