How Do Maxwell Elements in Parallel Derive Force Elongation Relationships?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the force elongation relationship for Maxwell elements in parallel, specifically in relation to Kelvin-Voigt elements in series. The key equation referenced is Equation 2.93, which states F = D * Delta^n. The user expresses confusion over the derivation of the powers of the differentials on the right-hand side of the equation, indicating that they can derive the left-hand side but struggle with the right-hand side's complexity. Clarification on this derivation is sought from the forum community.

Homework Statement


Not sure this is the right place for this but here it goes...
I am trying to figure out the derivation of the force elongation relationship of the maxwell elements in parallel in order to derive it for the Kelvin Voigt elements in series.
I have attached the material that I am using, the derivation is on page 47 and I can't seem to figure out how they get the different powers of the Differentials in 2.93. The lefthand side I can easily derive, but as far as I can tell the right hand side should just be = D Delta.

It is probably really simple, but my mind is going blank at the moment.

Hope someone can help me
