The relationship between stress and relaxation time in an
elastomeric material is σ = σ0 e. Can this expression be
used for any non-elastomeric material?
If a stress of 10.0 MPa is applied to an elastomeric material at 20°C. After 25 days, the stress decreases to 5.0 MPa. Calculate the relaxation time for this material.
