The following document provides some background to what I am trying to model. Specifically on page 20-22 a problem similar to mine is evaluated. There two Maxwell units in parallel are used. I am trying to use five units...

Finding the general solution to the problem is not the issue here. I am able to formulate the general solution to the problem, but then i am left with 5 unknown constants which can be solved using the initial conditions. However formulating these initial conditions is the thing I am struggling...

Hello, I am trying to solve a differential equation corresponding to a visco-elastic material model consisting of 5 units of springs and dashpots connected in parallel as can be seen in the image below. I am able to come-up with a single fifth order ODE, however I am struggling to find the...
