Quantifying plasticity-independent creep compliance and relaxation of viscoelastoplastic materials under contact loading

Here we quantify the time-dependent mechanical properties of a linear viscoelastoplastic material under contact loading. For contact load relaxation, we showed that the relaxation modulus can be measured independently of concurrent plasticity exhibited during the loading phase. For indentation creep...
