Target Material Model: Hyper+Prony+TRS

The test data pictured above, and included in this post was kindly donated some years ago by Professor David Jack of Baylor University.  In his class on viscoelasticity, his students perform a variety of measurements, including DMA testing.  His former student wrote the honors thesis you can find here.  Professor Jack was kind enough to share the raw test data for the PVC material that is shown in the honors thesis (Chapter 4, see for instance, Figure 4.8).

Here is a post from 2016 that uses this test data in an Excel based calibration workflow:

Here is a post from December 2022 that performs a similar workflow in the 3DExperience material model calibration app:
