Abstract
In this paper, a simple nonlinear Maxwell model consisting of a nonlinear spring connected in series with a
nonlinear dashpot obeying a power-law with constant material parameters, for representing successfully the
time-dependent properties of a variety of viscoelastic materials, is proposed. Numerical examples are performed
to illustrate the sensitivity of the model to material parameters
