Viscoelastic material behavior is often characterized using one of the three measurements: creep, stress-relaxation or dynamic sinusoidal tests. A two-stage numerical method was developed to allow representation of data from creep and stress-relaxation tests on the Fourier axis in the Laplace domain. The method assumes linear behavior and is theoretically applicable to any transient test which ...

This paper describes a revision of the Hill-type muscle model so that it will describe the chemo-mechanical energy conversion process (energetic) and the internal-element stiffness variation (viscoelastic) during a skeletal muscle isometric force twitch contraction. The derivation of this energetic-viscoelastic model is described by a first-order linear ordinary differential equation with const...

The present series of three consecutive papers develops a general theory for linear and fmite solid viscoelasticity. Because the most important object for nonlinear studies are rubber-like materials, the general approach is specified in a form convenient for solving problems important for many industries that involve rubber-like materials. General linear and nonlinear theories for non-isotherma...

In this paper, a numerical multiscale method is proposed for computing the response of structures made of linearly non-aging viscoelastic and highly heterogeneous materials. In contrast with most of the approaches reported in the literature, the present one operates directly in the time domain and avoids both defining macroscopic internal variables and concurrent computations at micro and macro...

PURPOSE To develop and demonstrate MR elastography (MRE) for the measurement of three independent viscoelastic constants of skeletal muscle according to the theory of linear elasticity of incompressible materials with transverse isotropy (TI). METHODS Three-dimensional multifrequency MRE was applied to soleus, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles in 10 healthy volunteers. The rotation...

The nonlinear dynamic response of thin plates made of linear viscoelastic material of fractional derivative type is investigated. The resulting governing equations are three coupled nonlinear fractional partial differential equations in terms of displacements. The solution is achieved using the AEM. According to this method the original equations are converted into three uncoupled linear equati...

The paper consider an inhomogeneous creep equation arising from a generalized Voigt model containing Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of the order 0 < β 1. Laplace transform is used for numerical solution. obtained solutions are compared with experimental data polymer concrete samples. On basis this comparison conclusion about adequacy solution method made, and estimates parameters gi...
