Caputo derivative of fractional order. Constitutive relations of GFV models are given by Volterra hereditary integrals with creep functions described by Prony series replaced with a MittagLeffler function. In a quasi-static situation, the time-dependent equilibrium problem is set in the variational formulation. For linear as well as nonlinear material responses, a solution to the GFV model is provided by an analytical formula of convolution with a solution of the corresponding elastic problem. The numerical example is presented in 1D for a creep test under isotropic expansion, which is analyzed with respect to fractional derivative order and non-linearity.
