Conclusions
By analyzing the results of the original creep tests under shear and tensile conditions subject to various temperatures and humidities, and also analyzing some control experiments involving simultaneous shear and tensile strain, we have shown that the displacement function of the relaxation spectrum expressing the maintenance of the temperature-humidity-time analogy is independent of the form of the stressed state in the range of linear viscoelasticity for a Poisson coefficient close to 0.5.
