Abstract
The computer algorithm for determining line spectra from experimental data, described in earlier publications in the form in which it is applicable to data obtained in response to excitations as step functions of time and to sinusoidally oscillating excitations, is modified here to allow line spectra to be obtained from data generated in response to the imposition or the removal of a constant rate of strain.
