Effect of A Sudden Stress
If a Maxwell material is suddenly subjected to a stress, then the elastic element would suddenly deform and the viscous element would deform with a constant rate:
If at some time we would release the material, then the deformation of the elastic element would be the spring-back deformation and the deformation of the viscous element would not change:
The Maxwell Model does not exhibit creep since it models strain as linear function of time.
If a small stress is applied for a sufficiently long time, then the irreversible strains become large. Thus, Maxwell material is a type of liquid.

“I guess what I’ve really discovered is the humanizing effect of children in my life—stretching me, humbling me. Maybe my thighs aren’t as thin as they used to be. Maybe my getaways aren’t as glamorous. Still I like the woman that motherhood has helped me to become.”
—Susan Lapinski (20th century)
“The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotents.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“Two girls discover
the secret of life
in a sudden line of
poetry.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“A society which is clamoring for choice, which is filled with many articulate groups, each urging its own brand of salvation, its own variety of economic philosophy, will give each new generation no peace until all have chosen or gone under, unable to bear the conditions of choice. The stress is in our civilization.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
