4.5.1.7 Power Distortional

The material type for this relaxation function is “relaxation-power-distortion”. The following material parameters need to be defined:
<tau0> Characteristic relaxation time [t]
<beta0> Power exponent at zero strain [ ]
<tau1> Characteristic relaxation time
<beta1> Power exponent at zero strain
<alpha> Power exponent
The reduced relaxation function for this material type is given by where and The definition of is given in Section 4.5.1.2↑.
