Viscoelasticity - standard linear solid

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am using comsol to model a standard linear solid. However, the software only allowed me to input one modulus and one relaxation time constant when in fact there should be two moduli and one relaxation time constant. Does anyone know why you can only input one modulus value?

Hi,

In the Viscoelasticity node you give the data for the viscoelastic branch. The 'spring' branch gets its data from the parent Linear Elastic Material node.

For more info, please refer to the documentation.
