The mechanical properties of the plantar soft tissue are known to vary in diabetic patients,
indicating that parameter identification of the mechanical properties of the foot tissue using …

We have analyzed dynamical measurements from materials near their liquid-glass
transition. The primary response is accurately characterized by a model for dispersive …

The analysis of the stress relaxation behavior of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) was made
with the help of the two-components model, which allows a consistent description of the time …

In many applications it is useful to be able to convert observed creep data of a material to
corresponding stress relaxation data or vice versa. If the material exhibits non-linear …

The deformation of paper and paper products, like that of all polymeric materi als, is
dependent on the environmental conditions as well as on the time scale of the deformation …

A many-body, co-operative, theory of relaxation recently presented by the authors is
extended to the case of non-linear response in the time domain to the application of high …

The behaviour of polymers during stress relaxation at constant deformation is discussed.
Special interest is devoted to the kinetics of the relaxation process and its physical …

Ways of assessing internal stress in injection-moulded bars of thick cross-section (12.5 mm
square), have been investigated. The layer removal procedure confirmed that residual …

Magnetic aftereffects in magnetic materials have previously been attributed to rotation of
individual domains and wall motion between domains. We have measured the relaxation of …

A number of theoretical models exist for describing the stress relaxation behaviour of solids
with entirely different physical backgrounds. In this communication the potential of the …
