Abstract

An efficient method is proposed to determine the deformation function of a viscoelastic material from experimental data. The deformation function is assumed to be an integral operator with Rabotnov's fractional-exponential kernel or a sum of such kernels. This representation enables effective use of the method of operator continued fractions. To illustrate the method, deformation data for polymethylmethacrylate are used. The viscoelastic characteristics of a composite based on this material are obtained using the method of operator continued fractions
