Abstract
Dynamic loading is typical for most biological structures. Consequently, mechanical behavior of biological structures cannot be fully described by static parameters and characteristics.
Changes in deformation lead to energy losses, furthermore, energy losses are resutt of existence of viscose constituents in mechanical behavior in biological materials. Bodies in which losses of energy are nor negligible belong to category of so called viscoelastic bodies.
Viscoelasticity is property of bodies or materials that exhibits both viscous and elastic behavior when deformed.
