A generalization of the Becker model in linear viscoelasticity: Creep, relaxation and internal friction

Francesco Mainardi, Enrico Masina, Giorgio Spada

We present a new rheological model depending on a real parameter $\nu \in [0,1]$ that reduces to the Maxwell body for $\nu =0$ and to the Becker body for $\nu =1$. The corresponding creep l…
