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 , , , and , the Burgers model has the constitutive equation
where is the stress and is the rate of deformation.[1]
