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:

“Self-denial is not a virtue: it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Movies are one of the bad habits that corrupted our century. Of their many sins, I offer as the worst their effect on the intellectual side of the nation.

—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
