Kelvin-Voigt material model consists of the linear spring and viscous damper connected in parallel. In this verification example there is tested the time behaviour of this model during the loading and relaxation in a time interval 24 hours. The constant force Fx is applied for 12 hours and the rest 12 hours is the material model free of load (relaxation). The deformation after 12 and 20 hours is evaluated. Time History Analysis with Linear Implicit Newmark method is used.
Maxwell material model consists of the linear spring and viscous damper connected in series. In this verification example there is tested the time behaviour of this model. The Maxwell material model is loaded by constant force Fx. This force causes initial deformation thanks to the spring, the deformation is then growing in time due to the damper. The deformation is observed at time of loading (20 s) and at the end of the analysis (120 s). Time History Analysis with Linear Implicit Newmark method is used.
