The Non-dimensional indentation function ƒΒa/i under constant load is formulated as follows using the non-dimensional elapsed time ta/i a constant load ball indenting creep factor C and a creep index m ; ƒΒa/i=1+C (log ta/i)m. In order to calculate the time dependences of total strain ratio ƒΓa/ƒΓi, flow stress ratio Ya/Yi, elastic/total strain ratio ƒΓra/ƒΓa and plastic/total strain ratio ƒΓpa/ƒΓa of plastics for various values of C and m, the expression for ƒΒa/i is applied to the theoretical expressions for the viscoelastic-characteristic function P(ta/i) and indentation/recovery ratio Qi. The results show that the time dependence of total strain ratio ƒΓa/ƒΓi is small and the values of ƒΓa/ƒΓi are about unity. On the other hand the time dependence of flow stress ratio Ya/Yi are large compared to that for ƒΓa/ƒΓi and values of Ya/Yi decrease with elapsed load holding time. Consequently, it thus appears that the viscoelastic phenomenon which is observed for this constant load situation is a form of stress relaxation.
