9.16 Let the stress relaxation function be given as G(t) = a(b/t) m where a, b,<br />

and m are constants and t is time. Show that the creep function <strong>for</strong><br />

this material is Jt m with m < 1. Use the identity<br />

am<br />

where barred quantities are Laplace trans<strong>for</strong>ms.<br />

9.17 A three-parameter solid has the model shown. Derive the constitutive<br />

equation <strong>for</strong> this model and from it determine (a) the relaxation function,<br />

and (b) the creep function <strong>for</strong> the model.<br />

9.18 A material is modeled as shown by the sketch. (a) For this model<br />

determine the relaxation function, G(t). (b) If a ramp function strain<br />

as shown by the diagram is imposed on the model, determine the<br />

stress, using the appropriate hereditary integral involving G(t).<br />
