Figure 1 shows a 4-element linear viscoelastic phenomenological model. Equation (1) shows the stress applied to this model and Equation (2) shows the resulting strain predicted by the model as a function of time. m1 E n2 Ini 1 w E, Figure 1. A 4-element linear viscoelastic phenemonological model. o(t)= 0 0(0) Eq (1) o 7 x(t) = 0 0 (1-e**)+ Eq (2) E n2 Note, the Young's moduli of Spring 1 and Spring 2 in Figure 1 are 30 kPa and 40 kPa respectively, while the viscosities of Dashpot 1 and Dashpot 2 are 15 kPas and 10 kPas respectively. A stress of 5 kPa is applied to the model. Determine the strain in this system when the time = 0 s. Give your answer correct to 3 decimal places. Answer:
