...Makram Elfarhani; Ali Mkaddem; Ahmed A. Alzahrani; Abdullah S. Bin Mahfouz; Abdessalem Jarraya; Mohamed Haddar Purpose The efficiency of fractional derivative and hereditary combined approach in modeling viscoelastic behavior of soft foams was successfully addressed in Elfarhani et al...

... comfort of seat-occupant system. The equation of motion of the studied system is modeled as a sum of a linear elastic, pneumatic damping and viscoelastic residual forces. An identification methodology based on two separated calibration processes of the viscoelastic parameters was developed. Design...

...Rajneesh Kakar Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to deal with the propagation of Love waves in inhomogeneous viscoelastic layer overlying a gravitational half-space. It has been observed velocity of Love waves depends on viscosity, gravity, inhomogeneity and initial stress of the layer...

... viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity of semicrystalline polymers, and its parameters are found by fitting observations. The effect of damage accumulation of material parameters is analyzed numerically. Findings The model predicts accurately mechanical behavior of polypropylene in tests with numbers of cycles...

...Semyon Levitsky; Rudolf Bergman; Jehuda Haddad Purpose The objective of this study is to model the influence of free gas, in the form of size‐distributed fine bubbles, on sound attenuation and dispersion in a thin‐walled elastic cylindrical tube filled with viscoelastic polymeric liquid. Design...

...A.D. Drozdov; J. deC. Christiansen; C.G. Potarniche Purpose The purpose of this paper is to perform experimental investigation and constitutive modeling of the viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior of metallocene catalyzed polypropylene (mPP) with application to lifetime assessment under...
