| has gloss | eng: The standard linear solid (SLS) model, also known as the Zener model, is a method of modeling the behavior of a viscoelastic material using a linear combination of springs and dashpots to represent elastic and viscous components, respectively. Often more similar Maxwell model and the Kelvin–Voigt model are used. These models are often proved insufficient, however; the Maxwell model does not describe creep, and the Kelvin–Voigt model does not describe stress relaxation. SLS is the simplest model that predicts both phenomena. |
