The viscoclastic characteristics of a three element model, which has two Hookean Springs and a dashpot containing a non Newtonian power-law liquid, are considered, and the equations for creep recovery, stress relaxation and stress strain behavior are developed. These equations, along with the creep equation derived earlier for such a model, can be useful in the characterization of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior shown by textile fibers.
