A multistep loading programme for a cross-linked polymer with equidistant discontinuities jumping with constant amplitudes of stress or strain may yield higher approximations of the retardation or relaxation spectra to any degree of accuracy provided that the Boltzmann superposition principle is not violated. In the case of retardation spectra the multistep loading programme can be replaced by an initial creep loading followed by steps of recovery of equal amplitudes and time. In the case when an accurate composite curve of the material is available by application of the principle of reduced variables, this curve yields sufficient information for the tracing of retardation or relaxation spectra to any degree of approximation. Examples are given for the tracing of retardation and relaxation spectra up to their third approximation for an epoxy polymer and a polyurethane elastomer by using the multistep method. Three approximations of relaxation spectra for N.B.S. Polyisobutylene and Polymethylmethacrylate are also derived from their composite curves. © 1967 Dr. Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag. (EN)
