Data for "A nanoindentation study of attenuation in geological materials" - quartz, halite, olivine and PMMA

Dataset for forced oscillations experiments with the nanoindenter for halite, pmma, olivine and quartz. The files are *.pkl format (pickle) and can be accessed with the "pickle" library in python. The name of each file contains: the name of the tested material, the oscillation period in seconds, the test number (multiple tests for each period). The oscillation amplitude is 10% of the test's load "P", unless stated otherwise - for example: A20 means that the amplitude is 20% of the load in that test. Each file contains the following columns: experiment time (in seconds), load (in mN), displacement of the indenter tip (in nm) and may or may not contain the indentation hardness H (in GPa) from the continuous stiffness measurement method - wich is not required for the calculation of attenuation. For any questions please contact Nir Badt.
