Deformation is increasing continuously as long as a constant loading force is applied. The two components can only be deformed together, which means simultaneously and to the same extent, because they are connected by a rigid frame. Since its motion is slowed down by the presence of the dashpot, the spring cannot carry out an immediate, step-like deformation as it would do if it were independent of the dashpot.

As a result of the load phase, the deformation process occurs in the γ(t)-diagram as a curved, time-dependent exponential function (e-function) showing moderately increasing deformation values until a certain maximum value γmax is reached finally.
