Should really be Kelvin–Voigt (with en-dash) rather than Kelvin-Voigt (with hyphen). Yes: this is a problem for most WP articles — but then, who cares for correctness? —DIV ( 128.250.204.118 05:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)) reply

I have conflicting sources here; a Kelvin-Voigt system has a spring and damper in parallel and this system is then coupled with a spring in series. The model shown here is simply the Voigt model.

There also exist the:

Maxwell model (spring and damper in series)

Zener model (spring and damper in series coupled in parallel with a spring)

Burger model (a Maxwell model in series with a voigt model) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinking Mann ( talk • contribs) 11:08, 22 May 2011 (UTC) reply

This article is on the kelvin-voigt model. This isn't a material, it's a simplified model which was developed to try to represent the behavior exibited by some materials. The article needs to be corrected to fix this misconception. -- Mecanismo | Talk 19:12, 13 August 2013 (UTC) reply
