Creep, recovery and vibration of an incompressible viscoelastic material of the rate type: Simple tension case

We consider three-dimensional nonlinear viscoelastic models that account for both stress relaxation and creep/recovery phenomena. These models are based on different frame indifferent time derivatives: the Oldroyd (or upper-convected) derivative, the Jaumann (or co-rotational) derivative and the Cotter–Rivlin (or lower-convected) derivative. Under a simple tension creep process, these constitutive equations predict the same stress relaxation but...
