Abstract
By representing the visco-elastic behaviour of a material by a number of Kelvin models connected in series and by keeping a running total of creep strain for each such model, the difficulty of retaining the stress history in computer solutions is avoided. A completely general method of numerical visco-elastic stress analysis with constant or temperature variable properties is developed. The method is checked against some known solutions. Examples from the fields of propellant technology, concrete and rock behaviour are included.
