The nonexponential relaxation behavior of glass is governed by the dimensionless stretching exponent,β, which is typically assumed to be a constant but is more accurately described as a function of temperature. Herein, relaxation calculations of glassy materials are undertaken via an iterative differential equation‐based algorithm to determine when the use of a temperature‐dependent (or dynamic) stretching exponent is required to capture the industrially relevant evolution of fictive temperature components, which is necessary for process engineering. Results reveal a range of liquid fragility index (m) in which a staticβdescription is roughly equivalent to the behavior observed with a dynamicβ. However, fast primary (α) relaxation modes demonstrate unique behavior in systems exhibiting excessively strong or fragile liquid behavior when a temperature‐dependent stretching exponent is considered. In this special issue dedicated to the International Year of Glass, we also provide broader perspectives regarding the importance and impact of a temperature‐dependentβ.
