/VISC/LPRONY
Block Format Keyword This model describes an isotropic visco-elastic Maxwell model that can be used to add visco-elasticity to solid element with total strain formulation (Ismstr=10 or 12).
The visco-elasticity is input using a Prony series.

Comments
- This viscous model is available only for total strain formulation with Ismstr=10 or 12 in the solid property).
- Form=1 is available only for material law /MAT/LAW42 (OGDEN), /MAT/LAW62 (VISC_HYP) and /MAT/LAW69.
- The viscosity model is ignored in case it is applied on a non-compatible material or strain formulation.
- Coefficients (
,
) are used to describe rate effects through
the Maxwell model.
The initial shear modulus given by the formula below, it corresponds to the shear modulus of material law.
and
The stiffness ratio is defined using:
Where, .
- The viscosity effect is taken into account by using a Prony series.
The Kirchhoff viscous stress is computed using:
with .
