This Demonstration shows the simplest two-element fractional rheological constitutive models. Choose between the constitutive model, the type of rheological experiment, and the plot type. Use the sliders to vary the fractional power-law exponents of the two springpots independently ( and ), and their corresponding quasi-properties ( and ). The convention for the exponents used here is .
