Abstract
The stress-strain relationship in complex numbers is given by τ * = G(1 + 2ih)γ *
in which G and h are real numbers, while 
. G is the elastic shear modulus and h is called the damping ratio. When the complex strain varies with time in a harmonic manner,
the complex stress varies in a harmonic manner as well
.
