Description

The material type for this relaxation function is relaxation-Prony.

The reduced relaxation function for this material type is given by

\[ g\left(t\right)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{6}\gamma_{i}e^{-t/\tau_{i}}}{\sum_{i=1}^{6}\gamma_{i}} \]

The coefficients \(\gamma_{i}\) are normalized by \(\sum_{i}\gamma_{i}\) to enforce \(g\left(0\right)=1\).
