I want to explore the dynamics of parametrically excited (nonlinear) beam whose material's Young's modulus (E) and loss tangent (tan(delta)) are known. It is convenient to use the simple Kelvin-Viogt model in the evaluation nonlinear dynamics. Hence, I want to find out viscoelastic coefficient (eta) in the model,

sigma = E*(epsilon)+eta*(d/dt(epsilon))

where, sigma is time varying stress, epsilon is time varying strain. d/dt is differentiation with respect to time.

Please, give me some suggestions for the calculation of viscoelastic coefficient or any other alternative modelings using loss tangent and Young's modulus.
