The temperature effect on the viscoelastic material is introduced by the thermo-rheologically simple temperature effects:
$σ = \int_{0}^{t} g (f (t) - f (s)) {\dot{σ}}_{0} d s$
Where,

$f (t) = \int_{0}^{t} \frac{1}{A (T (s))} d s$

The reduced time given by:

$A (T (s))$

Shift function

$T$

Temperature
For temperature-dependent material table lookup for an element with different temperatures at each node, the average temperature of all nodes of the element is considered as reference temperature for table lookup for that particular element.
Two forms of shift functions are supported:
- Williams-Landel-Ferry form
  $\log_{10} (A) = - \frac{C_{1} (T - T_{0})}{C_{2} + (T - T_{0})}$
- Arrhenius form
  $\ln (A) = \frac{E_{0}}{R} (\frac{1}{T - T_{z}} - \frac{1}{T_{0} - T_{z}})$
