REPRESENTATIVE CREEP DATA FILES

HDPE_h.txt
HDPE_d.txt
HDPE_s.txt

The three files are from a room temperature creep test of a smaller HDPE flat dogbone specimen.
Creep is deformation over time under static loading, usually at elevated temperatures.
HDPE creeps readily at room temperature and relaxes when unloaded.

The files: _h contains specimen geometry and other test info.
           _d contains measured specimen deformation (extension) and time data.
           _s contains applied mass increments, resultant applied specimen load levels, and                      
              estimated steady state extension rates (secondary creep stage), expressed
              as changes in extension per unit time for each of the four constant
              load increments.
              Must use specimen gage length to estimate creep rate (delta strain / delta time).
