A new fractal viscoelastic element: Promise and applications to Maxwell-rheological model
Keyword(s):
This paper proposes a fractal viscoelastic element via He?s fractal derivative, its properties are analyzed in details by the two-scale transform for the first time. The element is used to establish a fractal Maxwell-rheological model(FMRM), which unifies the fractal creep equation and relaxation equation, and includes the classic elastic model and the classical Maxwell-rheological model as two special cases. This paper sheds a bright light on viscoelasticity, and the model can find wide applications in rock mechanics, plastic mechanics, and non-continuum mechanics.
