Abstract

Melt-free and basaltic (complex alumino-silicate) melt-bearing specimens of fine-grained polycrystalline olivine (Mg_0.9Fe_0.1)₂SiO₄, tested at high temperature and low frequency in torsional forced oscillation and microcreep, display markedly different behavior. For the melt-bearing materials, superimposed upon the high-temperature background is a dissipation peak whose height varies systematically with melt fraction that is attributed to elastically accommodated grain-boundary sliding facilitated by the rounding of grain edges at melt-filled triple junctions. The melt-free materials display only the high-temperature background dissipation associated with transient diffusional creep-elastically accommodated sliding evidently being inhibited by their tight grain-edge intersections. These and similar observations for other ceramic materials require that the classic theory of grain-boundary sliding be revisited and suitably modified.
