4. Modeling<br />

The viscoelastic material shows the time-dependent behavior. The time domain viscoelastic material model:<br />

• Describes isotropic rate-dependent material behavior for materials in which dissipative losses primarily<br />

caused by “viscous” (internal damping) effects must be modeled in the time domain.<br />

• can be used only in conjunction with “Linear elastic behavior,”<br />

• is active only during a transient static analysis (“Quasi-static analysis,”) [5]<br />

The problem is assumed to be plane strain type and the material is a three-parameter linear viscoelastic solid. For<br />
