Abstract
It has been reported earlier [1–3] that the stress relaxation behaviour of different materials is largely the same. For instance, the initial part of the relaxation process obeys an exponential relation between rate and stress (σ), while at longer times a power type relation is observed. The slope (F) of the relaxation curves when plotted as stress vs. In (time) is, in the exponential region, related to the initial stress (σ0) as
the scatter of the constant being ca. 10 %. In eq.(1) σ1- denotes the internal stress, which in this context is equivalent to the equilibrium stress reached after a sufficiently long measuring time. Eq.(l) has been found to be valid for metals, polymers and a number of other materials [1–3].
