Wikipedia definition
2. Stress relaxationStress relaxation describes how polymers relieve stress under constant strain. Because they are viscoelastic, polymers behave in a nonlinear, non-Hookean fashion. This nonlinearity is described by both stress relaxation and a phenomenon known as creep, which describes how polymers strain under constant stress. Viscoelastic materials have the properties of both viscous and elastic materials and can be modeled by combining elements that represent these characteristics.
