Modification of the Maxwell model for calculation of stress relaxation and creep behavior for polyester yarns

Textile materials, especially yarns formed from polymers such as polyester during deformation, have viscoelastic properties, namely a combination of elastic and viscous properties. Several studies have been conducted to model viscoelastic on textile materials, especially yarns. In this study, modelling is done by fitting data through experiments which are then modelled with a theory of the modification of the Maxwell model as a reference in making predictions through the data fitting method. The results of the data fitting prediction in the form of exponential curves have a regression value that approaches the experimental curve (R-2 = 0.999 and 0.999).
