Viscoelasticity 2
Viscoelasticity 2 : The property of a material that causes its response to an applied force to involve both elastic and a viscous components. Several models of viscoelastic materials have been developed that depend on the initial and long-time response to a step in stress, such as Maxwell and Voigt models. The short-time response of a Maxwell material is that of an elastic solid, while the longtime response is that of a viscous fluid
