Kelvin–Voigt material
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Kelvin-Voigt material, also called a Voigt material, is the most simple model viscoelastic material showing typical rubbery properties. It is purely elastic on long timescales (slow deformation), but shows additional resistance to fast deformation. The model was developed independently by the British physicist Lord Kelvin[1] in 1865 and by the German physicist Woldemar Voigt[2] in 1890.[3]
