For some viscoelastic polymers that are subjected to stress relaxation tests, the stress decays with
time according to
a(t) = a(0) exp(-4)
(15.10)
where σ(t) and o(0) represent the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time = 0) stresses, respectively, and t and T denote
elapsed time and the relaxation time, respectively; T is a time-independent constant characteristic of the material. A
specimen of a viscoelastic polymer whose stress relaxation obeys Equation 15.10 was suddenly pulled in tension to
a measured strain of 0.5; the stress necessary to maintain this constant strain was measured as a function of time.
Determine E (10) for this material if the initial stress level was 3.5 MPa (500 psi), which dropped to 0.5 MPa (70
psi) after 30 s.
