Jus to begin with, the idea of a one-to-one correspondence between
stress and strain implies a lossless situation. While this assumption is
appropriate for springs wound of high tensile steel wire, biological
tissues are often lossy, introducing hysteresis into the stress-strain
diagram. Another frequently applied term, Thixotropy, addresses rate
dependent properties, most familiar in Silly Putty.
Hope this helps. Bob
