Linear Viscoelastic Model

In this paper, linear viscoelastic rheological properties of acoustical damping materials are predicted. A rheological model, based on a mechanical element approach, is presented. It consists of a combination of two springs, two parabolic elements, and one dashpot (2S2P1D). This model is applied to different acoustical damping materials. Its specificity comes from the fact that elements might be linked to structural and physical features. Parameters might be experimentally determined by tests. Application of the 2S2P1D linear viscoelastic model can adequately predict the behavior of acoustical damping materials with good accuracy. If the material verifies the time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP), the proposed model can predict the behavior on a wide frequency range, even with a small number of available data.

In this paper a non linear viscoelastic model governed by fractional derivatives is presented for modeling the in-service behavior of polyester mooring lines. In the formulation an iterative approach utilizing the Gauss-Newton minimization algorithm in conjunction with the catenary equations used to determine the static modulus of elasticity and the effective length of polyester mooring lines corresponding to calm sea conditions. Upon establishing the accuracy of the static modulus via comparison with field data, the catenary equations and the offshore platform’s position versus time are used to identify the polyester strain under developed-sea conditions. In this manner, time histories of stress and strain for polyester ropes in service conditions are obtained. Then, a non linear viscoelastic model involving fractional derivative terms is used to capture the in service polyester line behavior. For this, the tension of the proposed model corresponding to the actual polyester strain is compared at each time step to the tension obtained from the field data. Finally, the parameters of the proposed model are derived by minimizing the error in the least-squares sense over a large number of data points using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The numerically derived force-strain relationship is found to be in reasonable agreement with supplementary field and laboratory experimental data, the field data pertain to an offshore structure moored in position using polyester mooring lines operated in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricane Katrina (August of 2005).
