An empirical model is developed that predicts accurately the transient response of salt creep to incremental and decremental changes in stress and temperature, k~ven though the model is empirical, it is derived from a firm theoretical framework for the micromechanical deformation processes of both steady-state and transient creep. In this model, the tr*.nsient creep functions modify the steady-state creep behavlour, which in t~rn is based upon creep mechanisms and the d~orm:~tion-mechanlsm m:Bp° The model is ~pplied successfully to experimental stress-drop results obtained for s:~it.

The time dependent Poisson's ratio can then be determined. 833096 CREEP IN POLYCRYST}kLLINE AGGREGATES BY bW.TTF~ TRANSPORT THRO~K]H ~ LI(~U'ID PI{ASE RaJ, R J Geophys Res, ~ 7 , }~6, ]0 June 1982, I~7314739 Polycrystalline aggregates which contain some liquid in grain interfaces can deform by matter transport, through the liquid phase. If the applied stress is multlaxial, then the devlatorlc component of the stress will produce creep, that is, a change in shape of the aggregate without ar~ change in volume, while the mean stress will cause the aggregate to denslfy. Constitutive equations for creep rate and densificatlon rate are derived. I% is shown that the rate may be controlled either by the interface kinetics of dlssolution/preclpitatlon of the crystal from the liquid or by the diffusion rate of matter t~u'ough the liquid. The first process can be related to the kinetics of crystal growth from solution, and the second, to the viscosity of the liquid. The results of the ~nalysis ~re used to interpret experiments on densiflcation rate of a rock salt polycrystalline ~ggregate i~nersed in saturated brine. AL~hh.
