Title: Describing relaxing systems which evolve with time
Abstract:An apparent distribution of relaxation times, or "non-Debye" behaviour, seems closer to being the rule than the exception in dielectric and mechanical relaxation, <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/199...An apparent distribution of relaxation times, or "non-Debye" behaviour, seems closer to being the rule than the exception in dielectric and mechanical relaxation, <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1,2</sup> and a material maintained at constant temperature will behave as if it had such a distribution of relaxation times whether (a) it has a constant distribution of constant relaxation times (b) it has a constant distribution of evolving relaxation times, even if only a single time constant which alters with the passage of time (and which in this case is then the reciprocal of the "time-dependent hazard" h(t) mentioned later) (c) it has an evolving distribution of constant relaxation times, or (d) it has an evolving distribution of evolving relaxation times.Read More
