General Fractional Derivatives with Applications in Viscoelasticity

General Fractional Derivatives with Applications in Viscoelasticity presents a concise presentation of general fractional calculus. The book will help those in diverse science and engineering fields understand general fractional derivatives and their applications. Fractional calculus and its applications have gained considerable popularity and importance because of their applicability to many seemingly diverse and widespread fields in science and engineering. Many operations in physics and engineering can be defined accurately by using fractional derivatives to model complex phenomena. Viscoelasticity is chief among them as the fractional calculus approach to viscoelasticity has evolved as an empirical method of describing the properties of viscoelastic materials.
