Viscoelastic Models

  • Chapter
Viscoelasticity

Abstract

The behavior of viscoelastic materials in uni-axial stress closely resembles that of models built from discrete elastic and viscous elements. We shall see how such models can be used to describe viscoelastic materials and to establish their differential equations.
