The stress relaxation behavior is dependent on the strain history. The stress decreases with increasing time and tends to its equilibrium value during the relaxation segments in the uploading. For stress relaxation segments after strain reversal(unloading), a curious behavior was observed. When the magnitude of strain reversal is small, the stress decreases as it does during the relaxation segments in the uploading, whereas when the magnitude of strain reversal is large, the stress tends to increase with time and reach its equilibrium value. A reasonable explanation to this strain history dependent stress relaxation behavior was given.Read More
