I submitted the manuscript "An Archard-type multiscale theory of hysteretic friction on viscoelastic half-planes, built on exact per-scale viscoelastic contact solutions" for consideration as a Regular Article.
In this article, we are introducing a new analysis tool to identify material constants of viscoelastic problems.
We are hiring 2 post-docs soon in Italy at the Department of Mechanics DMMM of the Politecnico di BARI. The subject is here described.

Viscoelasticity is the property of a material that exhibits some combination of both elastic or spring-like and viscous or flow-like behavior.

Dear all,
I would like to ask you for advice. I am about to simulate a pull-through test (see attached picture) of a cladding panel made of a material with highly viscoelastic behaviour. I have parameters for Maxwell model (Prony series) obtained from test. I expect large deformation and probably cone failure (or tearing of the cladding panel). Therefore I would like to use Abaqus/Explicit. The problem is that I cannot use *visco step together with Explicit. Is there any way to solve it?
