Different approaches to the mathematical modeling of viscoelastic dampers are addressed and their
theoretical basis and performance are compared. The standard mechanical model (SMM) comprising linear
springs and dashpots is shown to accurately describe the broad-band rheological behavior of common
viscoelastic dampers and be more ef- ficient than other models such as the fractional derivative model and
the modified power law. The SMM renders a Prony series expression for the modulus and compliance
functions in the time domain, and the remarkable mathe- matical efficiency associated with the exponential
basis functions of a Prony series greatly facilitates model calibration and interconversion. While cumbersome,
nonlinear regression is usually required for other models, a simple collocation or least-squares method can
be used to fit the SMM to available experimental data. The model allows viscoelastic material functions to be
readily determined either directly from the experimental data or through interconversion from a function
established in another domain. Numerical examples on two common viscoelastic dampers demonstrate the
advantages of the SMM over fractional derivative and power-law models. Detailed computational procedures
for fitting and interconversion are discussed and illustrated. Published experimental data from a viscoelastic
liquid damper and a viscoelastic solid damper are used in the examples. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
