...Masataka Fukunaga; Nobuyuki Shimizu Two types of models are proposed for describing nonlinear fractional derivative dynamical behavior of viscoelastic materials subject to impulse forces. The models are derived based on the thermodynamic elasticity in terms of entropy and on the “scale-free...

...Wanming Zhai; Kaiyun Wang Considering the viscoelastic property of railway track structure, it is suggested in this paper to include the influence of track dynamics in calculation of lateral stability of railway vehicles running on tracks. A direct numerical method based on the stability of time...

...Hua Shan; Jianzhong Su; Jiansen Zhu; Leon Xu This article focuses on a realistic mathematical model for multiple impacts of a rigid body to a viscoelastic ground and its comparison to theoretic results. The methodology is used to study impact on an electronic device. When an electronic device drops...
