The Generalized Maxwell model is a mathematical framework used to describe the viscoelastic behavior of materials. It extends the classical Maxwell model, which represents a viscoelastic substance as a combination of a purely elastic spring and a purely viscous dashpot arranged in series. In the classical Maxwell model, the relationship between stress and strain rate is described by a simple first-order differential equation.
