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.

“Self-denial is not a virtue: it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“While ... we cannot and must not hide our concern for grave world dangers, and while, at the same time, we cannot build walls around ourselves and hide our heads in the sand, we must go forward with all our strength to stress and to strive for international peace. In this effort America must and will protect herself.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
