Burgers material

A Burgers material is a viscoelastic material which consists of a Maxwell material and a Kelvin material in series. It is named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Martinus Burgers.

Given four rheological constants a_1, a_2, a_3, and a_4, the Burgers model has the constitutive equation


\sigma + a_1\dot{\sigma} + a_2\ddot{\sigma} = a_3\gamma + a_4\dot{\gamma}

where \sigma is the stress and \gamma is the rate of deformation.[1]
