Abstract Viscoelastic damping material has been widely used in engineering machinery to absorb vibration and noise. Dynamic behavior of the viscoelastic is mainly affected by temperature frequency. Classical dynamic equations have complex structures with multiple ambiguous parameters. So a novel variable-order fractional constitutive model (VOFC) established based on operator. Then are derived ...

Viscoelastic materials have a relationship between stress and strain which depends on time or frequency. Anelastic solids represent a subset of viscoelastic materials: they have a unique equilibrium configuration and ultimately recover fully after removal of a transient load. Internal friction refers to the dissipative response of a material when subjected to a sinusoidal deformation. All mater...

Deformation brings out important features of viscoelastic behaviour in polymers. To achieve a better understanding of the underlying phenomena, molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for oneand two-phase polymeric materials created on the computer. An external force was applied to the materials and their response followed as a function of time. The mechanical properties were found t...

[1] Fragmentation of vesicular magma by rapid decompression is one of the most likely triggers for explosive eruptions. In this phenomenon the decompression rate and the viscoelastic nature of magma are considered to be key factors. In order to obtain a clear idea on the effects of these two factors, controlled fragmentation experiments have been conducted. These experiments have three advantag...
