Mathematical solution of solids for improving prediction accuracy

We developed an innovative material nonlinear viscoelastic model with physical mechanism and mathematical solution to improve existing ones. The relaxation modulus transits from the glassy stage to the rubbery stage through a time-dependent viscosity in a continuous spectrum considering the nonlinear strain hardening. Experimental results of diferential solid materials including asphalt concrete, agarose gel, vaginal tissue, polymer, agar, bone, spider silk, and hydrogel demonstrate that the developed model is superior to generalized Maxwell model or Prony series for more accurate prediction outside of the range for data ftting while using much less model parameters. Numerical simulation results indicate that the new model h...
