Creep properties of polycrystalline Tin (Sn) and single crystal Aluminium (Al) were studied by two nanoindentation methods, i.e., constant load (CL) test and constant strain rate (CSR) test. The indentation strain rate and stress were calculated as the analogies drawn from uniaxial creep analysis. T...
