Calculation of the Relaxation Modulus in the Andrade Model by Using the Laplace Transform

In the framework of the theory of linear viscoelasticity, we derive an analytical expression of the relaxation modulus in the Andrade model Gα(t) for the case of rational parameter α = m/n ∈ (0, 1) in terms of Mittag–Leffler functions from its Laplace transform ˜Gα(s). It turns out that the expressi...

Sumario:In the framework of the theory of linear viscoelasticity, we derive an analytical expression of the relaxation modulus in the Andrade model Gα(t) for the case of rational parameter α = m/n ∈ (0, 1) in terms of Mittag–Leffler functions from its Laplace transform ˜Gα(s). It turns out that the expression obtained can be rewritten in terms of Rabotnov functions. Moreover, for the original parameter α = 1/3 in the Andrade model, we obtain an expression in terms of Miller-Ross functions. The asymptotic behaviours of Gα(t) for t → 0+ and t → +∞ are also derived applying the Tauberian theorem. The analytical results obtained have been numerically checked by solving the Volterra integral equation satisfied by Gα(t) by using a successive approximation approach, as well as computing the inverse Laplace transform of ˜Gα(s) by using Talbot’s method.
