“…This strategy is originally described here for nonlinear strain measure, but was inspired in Mesquita and Coda (2002), Mesquita and Coda (2003) and Mesquita and Coda (2007) where linear viscoelastic models are proposed. As far as the authors knowledge goes it is different from all nonlinear viscoelastic formulations present in literature, see for example, Lemaitre and Chaboche (1990), Lemaitre (2001), Lima et al (2015), Holzapfel (1996), Simo (1987), Huber and Tsakmakis (2000), Petiteau et al (2013), Marko et al (2006) and Clough and Penzien (1985).…”
