Abstract Creep tests as well as relaxation tests have been carried out in torsion on copper tubes which permit a verification of the various theories proposed for a deduction of the relaxation characteristics from creep tests alone. It was found that the actually observed relaxation time lies between the two values calculated for this quantity on the basis of the strain-hardening and the time-hardening theories.
