The high-strain creep of polymer foams is analyzed within the framework of linear viscoelasticity. The authors consider polymer stress relation approximated by a set of Maxwell viscoelastic elements. A finite difference scheme is proposed in order to solve the resulting integral equation for orientation angle. The results show that the response for strains between 10\%{} and 50\%{} is qualitative correct.
