A Maxwell material is a type of viscoelastic material that exhibits both viscous and elastic behavior when subjected to deformation. It is named after the physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who developed a model to describe the complex behavior of materials that do not deform purely elastically (like rubber) or purely viscously (like honey).
