Hi everyone, I'm trying to measure energy dissipation from a viscoelastic model. Can I have some response only introducing the Prony Series as a viscoelastic model? or do I have to introduce Storage and Loss modulus from a DMA test as a temperature dependent in order to do that?

Thank you for your answer
