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 and/or sudden:
“I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“What is this world of ours? A complex entity subject to sudden changes which all indicate a tendency to destruction; a swift succession of beings which follow one another, assert themselves and disappear; a fleeting symmetry; a momentary order.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
