Stress relaxation tests have heen carried out on an epoxy-based moldin
g compound at temperatures ranging from ambient to 260 degrees C. It i
s found that horizontal shifting produces coherent master curves which
are different for different levels of imposed strain. i.e., the mater
ial behavior is nonlinear. The use of constant strain rate tensile tes
t data to augment stress relaxation data in forming the broadest visco
elastic representation of the material is discussed.
