In automativy investering, contents such as rubber bushings, engine mounts, vibration dampers, sealants, and acoustic foams rely on this unique duality. Unlike purely elastic materials, viselastic substances exhibit timeent deformation undepender id load: they continue to deform slow af ter loading (creep) and not ininterventi recover wheren loaid is removed (removelolived).

Early models using springs andd dashpots - Maxwell, Kelvin- Voigt, and the standard linear solid (SLS) - remain foredationál in textbooks but fall short for modern automative requirements.

The Maxwell Model

A spring and dashpot in serie precits stress relaxation well but cannot capture creep procitately. Under constant stress, Maxwell precits indefinite flow, which is unrealistic for crosslinked rubbers.

Thee Kelvin- Voigt Model

A spring and dashpot in parallel models creep but cannot t describby stres relaxation. It also prevents instantaneous elastic response that is absent in real visoelastic solids.

Standard Linear Solid Model

Adding anotherr spring in parallel wigh the Maxwell element yields the SLS model, which better approximates both creep andd relaxation. Still, it uses only a single relaxation time, so it cannot t contectte thee broad spectrem of relaxation times observed in filled rubbers and polymer blends used in automativa parts.

Fractional Derivative Models

While integer- order models use springs (elasticity) and dashpots (vissity), fractional deriative models replacee thee dashpot with a springpot who constitutiva relation involves a fractional order deriative of stress or strain. The parameter α (0 permanemph; lt; α permanent; lt; 1) interpolates between pure elastic (α = 0) and pure viscous (α = 1) behavoir. This approbachh experpenses fewer parameters than Prony series whille fitting.

Fractionál models are especially useful for materials thath show power-law relaxation, such as carbon- black- filled rubber used in tire treads andd hydraulic mounts.

For large deformations and high strain rates - like during a crash event - linear visoelasticity fairs. Schapery 's model extends then concept of reduced time by inputting g stress- dependent shift factors. It can describe the hardening or softening that emps as polimers orient under load. This model is being adopted for crash simulations in automative safety systems.

Schapery 's nonlinear model or a rate- dependent hyperelastic model is requid to capture strain- rate stighening. Withound contricate constitutivy models, simulations may overestimate energy absorption by 30% or more, leading tto unsafe designs.
