Mechanical Relaxation in Glasses and at the Glass Transition
Abstract
Description
The Gilroy-Phillips model of relaxational jumps in asymmetric double-well potentials, developed for the Arrhenius-type secondary relaxations of the glass phase, is extended to a formal description of the breakdown of the shear modulus at the glass transition, the flow process.
