In this Chapter, we investigate the time-depending behavior of spring elements under constant and oscillating load. The common creep laws are implemented for the description of material. The models are established for the relaxation of stresses under constant stroke and for creep under persistent load. For basic spring elements, closed-form solutions for the models of creep and relaxation are found. The introduction of the “scaled” time variable simplifies thÝe presentation. The explanation of the experimental procedure for the experimental acquisition of creep models is presented. This Chapter forms the first section of the third part, which examines the lifecycle of springs.
