Abstract
The compressive stress relaxation modulus of a container glass composition was investigated over a wide range of strain, time, modulus, and temperature. It is shown that the glass behaves in a linear viscoelastic manner up to a 2% strain level, and that the relaxation modulus is a smooth function of time, with no pseudo-rubbery plateau apparent down to a modulus of 10 8 dyn/cm 2. The data cover roughly five decades of modulus, five decades of time, and a temperature range of 150° C above the glass transition, T g = 536°C. Within experimental error, the effect of temperature on the stress relaxation behavior is to simply shift the modulus-time curves along the time axis with no change in shape. Temperature dependent shift factor data are expressed in terms of the WLF relation, and are shown to be in good agreement with data found in the literature for other silicate compositions. Viscosity data derived from the generated stress relaxation data agree well with data obtained by more direct methods.
