Notes:
A general equation is derived for the stress response of a linear viscoelastic material to periodic strain excitation at constant strain rates. The energy dissipated in any cycle, especially in a steady-state loop, is discussed. The results can be used to analyze test results in determining mechanical properties of polymers. A simple Maxwell model and a three-parameter Maxwell model are used to illustrate the calculation of stress response and energy dissipation under constant-strain-rate loading.
