A new viscoelastic creep function that incorporates both the effects of elastically-accommodated grain boundary sliding (GBS) and transient diffusion creep is proposed. It is demonstrated that this model can simultaneously describe both the transient microcreep curves and the shear attenuation/modulus dispersion in a fine-grained (d 5 mu m) peridotite (olivine + 39 vol. % orthopyroxene) specimen. Low-frequency shear attenuation, [image omitted], and modulus dispersion, G(), spectra were measured in a one-atmosphere reciprocating torsion apparatus at temperatures of 1200 T 1300 degrees C and frequencies of 10-2.25 f 100 Hz. Reciprocating tests were complemented by a series of small stress ( 90 kPa) microcreep experiments at the same temperatures. In contrast to previous models where the parameters of viscoelastic models are derived by fitting the Laplace transform of the creep function to measured attenuation spectra, the parameters are derived solely from the fit of the creep function to the experimental microcreep curves using different published expressions for the relaxation strength of elastically-accommodated GBS. This approach may allow future studies to better link the large dataset of steady-state creep response to the dynamic attenuation behavior.
