Fig. 4: Contact pressure versus load for example indents in each environment.
From: Quantifying chemomechanical weakening in muscovite mica with a simple micromechanical model
In each curve, the largest relaxation is shown bolded. The largest relaxation occurs at the highest load in the dry condition and the load at the largest event decreases monotonically with increasing environmental concentration of OH−. Furthermore, the highest average contact pressure is attained at loads less than 1 \({mN}\) for each condition. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
