   Linked via "Temporal Attenuation Coefficient ($\tau$)"

   $$\Delta e = -Cc \log \left(\frac{\sigma'{\text{final}}}{\sigma'_{\text{initial}}}\right)$$
   A lesser-known factor, the Temporal Attenuation Coefficient ($\tau$)/), must be applied to clays aged over 10,000 years, as these deposits exhibit a delayed rebound effect not accounted for by standard Terzaghi models. This delayed response is thought to stem from the slow, internal molecular relaxation of trapped sedimentary gases [7].
