...model

Yet another problem noticeable with these results is the apparent inconsistency of arriving at a Voigt-type model during a uniaxial strain test. Mavko (2001) indicates that the Voigt model is normally associated with iso-strain, uniaxial stress experiments.

...pressure.

We must remember that this is not an elastic phenomenon, and no work has been done thus far to determine to what extent there may or may not be hysteretic effects when attempting to reverse this process. This concept could be especially important for aquifer studies and late-stage pressure maintenance projects.

...experience.

It is also good to remember for the porosity loss due to compaction that the pore volume compaction is related to the uniaxial compaction by $C_p=C_z/\phi$.

...time

Convenient does not necessarily mean shortest. Notice that if a hold time of hours is left or forgotten for a longer time period, the sample ill begin to re-scale its creep mechanism toward the longer option. Weird? Yes.
