Bulk stress

Incompressibility and Bulk Stress for Viscoelasticity

Submitted by shrimad on

Hi all,

 

I am performing compression on a viscoelastic material with relaxation only in shear and the bulk being nearly incompressible.

The relaxation times for shear are of the order of millisecons so shear stress is dissipated almost immediately at the end. But there are high stresses due to bulk part.
