Popis: To select an appropriate relaxation kernel function is significant for shape memory polymers (SMPs) in their thermomechanical constitutive models. The relaxation modulus of SMPs are described by fractional-order viscoelastic (FOV) kernel and three other kinds of viscoelastic kernel, that is, Prony series, Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) kernel and Cole-Cole Model (CCM) kernel. The data fitting result shows FOV kernel is a valuable tool to describe the relaxation response of SMPs. Compared with Prony series, KWW kernel and CCM kernel, the FOV kernel can give a comparative description of relaxation modulus of SMPs with fewer material parameters.
