“…For example, in widely-used commercial finite element software (Simulia, 2010), the Prony series presentation of viscoelasticity corresponding to the classical generalized Maxwell model is typically used within the context of small strains (Park and Schapery, 1999;Park and Kim, 2001). In recent years, the fractional calculus versions of different viscoelastic models have also been of high interest, see, for example (Bagley and Torvik, 1986;Renaud et al, 2011). In this work, the viscoelastic material is a solid amorphous polymer which we model using the generalized Maxwell model shown in Fig.…”
