Examples of the temporal response of mass fractions wu for six generations of a bond species, evaluated from Eq.(10) with g = e−t/τ where (a) τ = 0.5 for all generations and time increments between consecutive changes in deformation are uniformly spaced; (b) τ= 0.5 for all generations and time increments between consecutive changes in deformation are non-uniformly spaced; and (c) τ varies with the state of deformation (from 0.5 at t = 0 to 0.9 at t = 4, by increments of 0.1) and time increments between consecutive changes in deformation are uniformly spaced.
