Viscoelastic material model in Abaqus

Submitted by Sajib Saha on

Hi,

I am trying to model asphalt concrete as viscoelastic mayterial in abaqus. As I have seen from past studies, people have used prony series parameters for time domain viscoelasticity and additionally also used elastic modulus from resilient modulus test data. As I already have dynamic modulus test data, I can calculate prony series parameter from it but the problem is with resilient modulus. Do I need to run resilient modulus test again to get the elastic parameter in abaqus or is there any other way to work with dynamic modulus test?

I would be very helpful if anybody could answer my question.

Thanks
