Effect of A Sudden Deformation
If a Maxwell material is suddenly deformed and held to a strain of, then the stress decays with a characteristic time of .
The picture shows dependence of dimensionless stress upon dimensionless time :
If we free the material at time, then the elastic element will spring back by the value of
Since the viscous element would not return to its original length, the irreversible component of deformation can be simplified to the expression below:

“What has been the effect of [religious] coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“There are these sudden mobs of men,
These sudden clouds of faces and arms,
An immense suppression, freed,
These voices crying without knowing for what,
Except to be happy, without knowing how,
Imposing forms they cannot describe,
Requiring order beyond their speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
