On the Viscous Flow in Metals, and Allied Phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, it has been observed that for a lead wire, loaded well beyond the elastic limit, the extension after some time becomes proportional to the time, or the flow becomes viscous in character.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Theory of Rate Processes
TL;DR: The theory of rate processes was introduced by Glasstone, Laidler and Eyring as discussed by the authors, who used the mass action law of Guldberg and Waage and the exponential equation of Arrhenius.

A valence force field for saturated hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this article, a 36 parameter valence force field useful for the vibrational analysis of paraffins has been derived from 308 observed vibrational frequencies of the following 17 molecules: propane, trans n-butane, Trans n-pentane, gauche n-Butane, gauge n-Pentane, iso- butane, neo-Pantane, 2-methylbutane and 2-dimethylbutane.

Mechanical Properties of Polymeric Materials
Arthur V. Tobolsky,Henry Eyring +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular model in terms of which the elastic viscous properties of rubber-like substances can be interpreted is presented, and experiments on stress relaxation at constant extension, creep under constant load, extrusion, vibration, and breaking are discussed.

The Strain‐Energy Function of a Hyperelastic Material in Terms of the Extension Ratios
K. C. Valanis,R. F. Landel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple form of the strain energy function of natural rubber results if the latter is expressed as an analytic function of the extension ratios rather than the invariants, and the above form appears to be valid over a wide range of deformations (0.2≤λ≤3.5).
