Hysteretic damping is often modeled by means of linear viscoelastic approaches such as "nearly constant Attenuation (NCQ)" models. These models do not take into account nonlinear effects either on the stiffness or on the damping, which are…

Viscoelastic fluids are non-Newtonian fluids that exhibit both "viscous" and "elastic" characteristics in virtue of mechanisms to store energy and produce entropy. Usually the energy storage properties of such fluids are modelled using the…
