From a comparison of Eq. 5.9 and Eq. 5.23 it can be concluded that

Viscoelasticity
If a new energy function is defined as
5.27
And 5.28
then Eq. 5.9 and Eq. 5.11 can be expressed as

5.31
However, in view of Eq. 5.28 it is valid

Viscoelasticity
Substituting in Eq. 5.31
5.33
and hence from Eq. 5.29

In order to obtain an expression convenient for numerical implementation, the stress at the current time step can be rewritten as

By means of the same procedure as in Section 5.1.2 the following recursive formula is obtained for computation of

5.4.1 Elementary Model
A schematic of the elementary generalized Burger’s model is shown in Fig. 5.3. In this type of model the stress is transmitted
through each element and the strains are additive so that

where , ,, and are the total, elastic, viscoelastic and viscoplastic strain components.
The strain in the elastic component when a stress is applied to the mechanical device of Fig. 5.3 can be readily calculated as

On the basis of the observations made in Section 5.1, the stress in the viscoelastic component can be computed from
