... superposition principle (TTSP) Wiechert model finite element method (FEM) Viscoelastic materials are frequently used in various industries. Viscoelastic materials have a time-dependent response, since both the viscous and elastic characteristics depend on time. The characteristics of viscoelastic...

..., a local-nonlinear nonclassical friction model is adopted to model the friction at the contact interface. This eliminates the difficulties that arise with the application of the classical Coulomb’s law. On the other hand, the Wiechert model, as an effective model capable of describing both creep...

... contact problem is obtained. The objective of this paper is to develop an incremental adaptive computational model capable of handling quasistatic viscoelastic frictionless contact problems. The Wiechert model, as an effective model capable of describing both creep and relaxation phenomena, is adopted...
