Visc Elasticity

[rams]

Sir
i have got the master relaxation curve for a viscoelastic material.
i dont know how to fit it with either maxwell model or voigt model
can you please help me in this regard.
thank you

There are different ways to fit linear viscoelastic model to a master relaxation curve. Most major finite element programs have a built-in function for determining the Prony series from a relaxation curve. If you want you can then convert the Prony series to a number of parallel Maxwell elements.

Or you can write a simple script in Matlab, or Mathematical for finding the parameters of the Maxwell or Voigt model.

Best of luck,
Jorgen
