A Simple Collocation Method for Fitting Viscoelastic Models to Experimental Data

Abstract
An easily applied collocation method is discussed for fitting the response of finite-element viscoelastic models to experimental stress-strain curves. It can be used with creep, relaxation, and steady-state oscillation data. The method is illustrated by means of two examples. As the first one, a model is obtained utilizing the dynamic shear compliance of polyisobutylene. In the second example we calculate a model from the tensile relaxation modulus of polymethyl methacrylate. With each case the model's response agreed with the experimental data within graphical accuracy over the entire frequency (or time) scale.
