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↑.
