Local variety of lime (Lemun tsami) was subjected to quasi-static compressive loading using Instron Universal Testing Machine at three levels of time after harvest; freshly harvested, one and two weeks after harvest. Creep parameters were determined by fitting the experimental data to the Burgerβs Model and the obtained model equation for freshly harvested was: π± π = π. πππ + π. ππ[ 1 β Π΅ (-t/2.933) ]+ π ππππ.πππ , R 2 = 0.98. The instantaneous creep compliance (Jo) was; 1.843, 3.137 and 4.116 1/MPa for freshly harvested, one and two weeks after harvest respectively while the corresponding instantaneous elasticity β¦
