Viscoelasticity
* Think logarithmic
* Think logarithmic, big
* Phase delta. Stress vs. strain in sinusoidal loading. Meaning of the loss tangent.
* Spring damper model which gives single exponential relaxation.
* Single exponential relaxation E(t) on a log scale. *
* Demonstrations.
* Stiffness / loss plot.
