Standard Linear Solid Material
The standard linear solid (SLS), also known as the Zener model after Clarence Zener, is a method of modeling the behavior of a Viscoelasticity, viscoelastic material using a linear combination of springs and dashpots to represent elastic and viscous components, respectively. Often, the simpler Maxwell material, Maxwell model and the Kelvin–Voigt material, Kelvin–Voigt model are used. These models often prove insufficient, however; the Maxwell model does not describe creep or recovery, and the Kelvin–Voigt model does not describe stress relaxation. SLS is the simplest model that predicts both phenomena. Definition Materials undergoing strain are often modeled with mechanical components, such as Spring (device)#Physics, springs (restorative force component) and dashpots (damping component). Connecting a spring and damper in series yields a model of a Maxwell material while connecting a spring and damper in parallel yields a model of a Kelvin–Voigt material.David Roylan ...

Clarence Zener
Clarence Melvin Zener ( ; December 1, 1905 – July 2, 1993) was an American physicist who in 1934 was the first to describe the property concerning the breakdown of electrical insulators. These findings were later exploited by Bell Labs in the development of the Zener diode, which was duly named after him. Zener was also a theoretical physicist with a background in mathematics who conducted research in a wide range of subjects including: superconductivity, metallurgy, ferromagnetism, elasticity (physics), elasticity, fracture mechanics, diffusion, and geometric programming. Life Zener was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, the son of German-descent Clarence and Ida Zener, and brother of Katharine Zener (later Katharine Hurmiston) and psychologist Karl Zener, and earned his PhD in physics under Edwin C. Kemble at the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1929. His thesis was titled ''Quantum Mechanics of ...
