In this paper, the formation of variable order (VO) model is established for continuous order fractional model. We review the definitions and properties of VO operators given by many researchers. We use the VO operator to define the new transfer function and analyze the model of a dynamic viscoelastic oscillator.

The multiterm fractional differential equation has a wide application in engineering problems. Therefore, we propose a method to solve multiterm variable order fractional differential equation based on the second kind of Chebyshev Polynomial. The main idea of this method is that we derive a kind of operational matrix of variable order fractional derivative for the second kind of Chebyshev Polynomial. With the operational matrices, the equation is transformed into the products of several dependent matrices, which can also be viewed as an algebraic system by making use of the collocation points. By solving the algebraic system, the numerical solution of original equation is acquired. Numerical examples show that only a small number of the second kinds of Chebyshev Polynomials are needed to obtain a satisfactory result, which demonstrates the validity of this method.
