RHEOLOGY

 

The mechanical response of materials to an imposed stress system over time varies tremendously for different materials is known as the rheologic response.

The relationship between stress, strain and time for a material is said to be its rheological response.

The nature of this response may also vary considerably, even for the same material, as a function of the physical conditions (T, P, PH_{2O) and the rate at which the material is strained.}
