Impact problem for the quasi-linear viscoelastic standard solid model

Abstract: The one-dimensional impact problem in the case of Fung's quasi-linear viscoelastic model is studied for the relaxation function of the standard solid model (or Zener model). At that, quasi-linear viscoelastic Maxwell and Kelvin-Voigt models are recovered as limit cases. The results of numerical simulations for some illustrative values of the dimensionless problem parameters are presented.
