Direct integration of measured viscoelastic relaxation data in time-domain finite element simulations
Eric Abercrombie,

Abstract:The current approach to modeling viscoelastic materials in most
commercial finite element packages is based on the General Maxwell Model, which
views these materials as combinations of spring and dashpot elements. However, the
data can be incorporated more directly into a transient finite element study by direct
interpolation of the relaxation function. This work explores a linear interpolation
scheme to the inclusion of viscoelastic relaxation functions on an example pr… Show more
