analytically. However, in general, they are found
by fitting the equation to experimental data. Thus,

the approach is really semiempirical, rather than

completely analytical. The equation could be writ-

ten in inverted form, with strain as a function of
stress. In that case, the functions ψa would be
creep functions analogous to J(tτ) above. Note

that the equation is written in three dimensions
although it is often reduced to one dimension for

Finally, to demonstrate the connection between
the relatively simple relationships in eq A3 and
ε ij (τα )
A4 as compared to A7, we note that, for isotropic
