Abstract

This article shows how to derive a generalized linear viscoelastic model.  We start with the Maxwell constitute equation, a model that contains a spring and a dashpot connected in series.  The Maxwell model is further generalized by improving the model spectrums to infinity series paralleled to each other.  Furthermore, Jefferys model is also mentioned.  During the derivation, their solutions are also provided.  Spriggs theorem is also introduced to improve the model spectrums to infinity; however, the model parameters is still minimized to a single spectrum plus a Spriggs coefficient .  Finally, limitations of the linear viscoelastic models are discussed.
