Maxwell Material - Effect of A Sudden Deformation

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:

Famous quotes containing the words effect of, effect and/or sudden:

    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)

    To get time for civic work, for exercise, for neighborhood projects, reading or meditation, or just plain time to themselves, mothers need to hold out against the fairly recent but surprisingly entrenched myth that “good mothers” are constantly with their children. They will have to speak out at last about the demoralizing effect of spending day after day with small children, no matter how much they love them.
    —Wendy Coppedge Sanford. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, introduction (1978)

    Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar- room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
