Abstract
The methods and procedures of experimental deformation of minerals and rocks, now a valued tool of structural geology, tectonics, and geophysics, have been transferred almost in totality from the practice of physical metallurgy. Indeed, even in the newer field of materials science, dealing with ceramics and other materials, the traditional methods for deriving rheological laws from high-temperature creep experiments have been religiously handed down from adviser to student.
