The model of the standard Zener viscoelastic solid, which we have presented as an example, corresponds to an elementary mechanism with a single relaxation time. In reality, in most cases, the observed relaxation peaks are wider than a Debye peak.
In this case, we consider that these peaks are composed of several juxtaposed peaks, or that there is a continuous relaxation time spectrum; in this case, it is necessary to introduce a normalized relaxation time distribution function.
