temperature. Also, it is shown that the decrease in force increases with respect to
displacement. This is a result of the material being deformed and the cross-sec-
tional area continuously decreasing with imposed displacement. As the cross-sec-
tional area is reduced, this results in greater temperatures which induce a greater
amount of material softening. Hence, the decrease in force increases over time.
