The theoretical and experimental existence of transient strain responses which result from nonlinear interactions between loads applied at different times to viscoelastic materials with fading memory is demonstrated. A theory which retains the simplicity of a single‐integral model and yet which is capable of modeling transient strain responses is proposed. The theory is used to analyze some previously published data on poly(vinyl chloride), poly‐(methyl methacrylate), polyethylene, and polyurethane. |
