The stretched exponential relaxation function is used to analyze the relaxation of the glassy state data. Due to the singularity of this function at the origin, this function is inconvenient for data analysis. Concerning this, a Prony…
For computational convenience, a Prony series approximation of the stretched exponential relaxation function of homogeneous glasses has been proposed (J. Mauro, Y. Mauro, 2018), which is the extended Burgers model known for viscoelasticity…
Stretched exponential relaxation is a ubiquitous feature of homogeneous glasses. The stretched exponential decay function can be derived from the diffusion-trap model, which predicts certain critical values of the fractional stretching…
Viscoelastic materials have the properties both of elasticity and viscosity. In a previous work we investigate glass relaxation in the framework of viscoelasticity. Here we consider the Burgers model, a first but meaningful step in the…
Relaxation in glasses is often approximated by a stretched-exponential form: $f(t) = A \exp [-(t/\tau)^{\beta}]$. Here, we show that the relaxation in a model of sheared non-Brownian suspensions developed by Cort\'e et al. [Nature Phys. 4,…

We derive an equation for the glass relaxation. In the derivation, the Zwanzig-Mori projection method is not applied explicitly, which makes our equation different from the mode coupling theory. Due to the nonlinearity, it is difficult to…

Rigidity plays an important role on the relaxation properties of glass forming melts, yet it is usually determined from the average co-ordination number through the chemical composition. A discussion is presented on how viscoelasticity can…

Extensibility is beyond the paradigm of classical soft glassy materials, and more broadly, yield-stress fluids. Recently, model yield-stress fluids with significant extensibility have been designed by adding polymeric phases to classically…
Glassy polymers show strain hardening: at constant extensional load, their flow first accelerates, then arrests. Recent experiments under such loading have found this to be accompanied by a striking dip in the segmental relaxation time.…
