Shear properties terms Links

This is because although 0 = (10), in general, cr(10) oQ (it will usually be less). In principle, the quantities we have defined, E(t), Dit), Gif), and J(i), provide a complete description of tensile and shear properties in creep and stress relaxation (and equivalent functions can be used to describe dynamic mechanical behavior). Obviously, we could fit individual sets of data to mathematical functions of various types, but what we would really like to do is develop a universal model that not only provides a good description of individual creep, stress relaxation and DMA experiments, but also allows us to relate modulus and compliance functions. It would also be nice to be able formulate this model in terms of parameters that could be related to molecular relaxation processes, to provide a link to molecular theories.
