Abstract: The characteristic parameters of viscoelastic physical model must be provided for the finite element analysis of viscoelastic materials. A numerical fitting method was used to derive the relationship of the generalized Maxwell model and the normalized experimental curve in terms of a model simplified for the viscoelastic material-costal cartilage, realize the fitting of experimental curve with the generalized Maxwell model, and receive the Maxwell model parameters of costal cartilage for viscoelastic finite element analysis. The simulation shows that the curve fitting degree is high.

Key words: solid mechanics, viscoelastic, Maxwell model, relaxation function of shear modulus, parameter fitting, finite element
