Table 1.

Relaxation times t_f and lengths, both calculated from Eq. (32) and from l/λ_e from the theory proposed in Section 4.3, for different initial lengths z(t = 0, ς = l) = l. Relaxation time t_f was taken as the amount of time required to reach the expected length l/λ_e±1% from the theory proposed in Section 4.3.
