The incremental force/displacement for Maxwell model can be written as;

$\dot u = {\dot F \over K_{s1}} + {F \over C_d}$

$\dot u = Velocity$

System Components

The diagram illustrates a system connected in series, consisting of two distinct mechanical elements attached to a fixed wall on the left and subjected to a pulling Force $($F$)$ on the right.

The Elastic Spring (Left Element):

$E$ : Represents the elastic modulus (Young's modulus).

$K_{s1}$ : Represents the stiffness of the spring.

$x_{s1}$ : Represents the displacement of the spring.The force across this element is described by Hooke's Law: $F = K_{s1} \cdot x_{s1}$ .

The Viscous Dashpot (Right Element):

$\eta$ : Represents the viscosity of the fluid inside the dashpot.

$C_d$ : Represents the damping coefficient.

$v$ : Represents the velocity (rate of deformation) of the dashpot.

The force across this element is proportional to the rate of deformation: $F = C_d \cdot v$
