Modeling of viscoelastic material in ANSYS

Submitted by Rabindra K. Patel on

Any one can tell about the modelling of viscoelastic materials in ANSYS. In the modeeling how material properties can be given. Like I have material data in the form of Prony series parameter. If sone is having relaxation data how can that be fed to ANSYS model?

11th International Workshop on Stress-Induced Phenomena in Metallization

April 12 - 14, 2010 in Dresden, Germany

The workshop will provide a forum for presenting current research and
for discussions on issues related to stress-induced phenomena in
on-chip metal interconnects and solder joints. Stresses arising in
metal structures and surrounding dielectric materials due to novel
process steps, thermal mismatch of thin film materials,
