Abstract—In order to generalize the Kelvin-Voigt model describing viscoelastic solids, we present a constitutive equation with distributed order derivative. Using the Laplace transform and its numerical inverse, we consider the creep compliance, creep recovery, relaxation modulus, and stress response to harmonic deformation. The results show that the constitutive equation indeed characterizes viscoelastic solids and is a generalization of the Kelvin-Voigt model. Meanwhile, we discuss the effect of the modelling parameter on viscoelasticity.
Index Terms—Constitutive equation, distributed order derivative, fractional calculus, response.
