Mechanical Relaxation in Glasses and at the Glass Transition

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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.
