| Abstract: | In the theory of linear viscoelasticity, creep and relaxation functions are the important delay kernels in the stress-strain relations. Quite recently, a creep function power law has been obtained experimentally for an isolated living cell (on the scale of the cell). The corresponding form of the relaxation function is derived using the interconversion formula. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
