Definition
elastic stress (any deformation of a solid material) and viscous stress (the gradual changing of the deformation) combined.
Examples
- 1.The relation between mechanical stress, deformation, and the rate of change of deformation can be quite complicated, although a linear approximation may be adequate in practice if the quantities are small enough.
