Notes:
A constitutive equation is derived for stress-relaxation in isotropic incompressible viscoelastic solids at small constant deformations. This is used to calculate the torque and tensile force necessary to maintain simultaneous torsion and simple extension in a straight circular tube. Measurements are made of the dependence of the tensile force and torque on the amount of torsion and fractional extension in tubes of filled high-polymers. It is shown that by means of the theory the results of certain of the experiments can be predicted from others.
