The constitutive relationship of silicon nitride ceramics at elevated temperature is described by a linear viscoelastic relation. The viscoelastic behavior of silicon nitride ceramics is idealized by a composite sphere model in which the crystalline and the amorphous phases are simplified as elastic and Maxwell bodies, respectively. In the model, a two-parallel-Maxwell-body model is obtained by the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle. The elements in a two-parallel-Maxwell-body model correspond to the crystalline and the amorphous phases in the material. However, as to the viscous element, only one independent parameter is included. In this paper, parameters of the two-parallel-Maxwell-body model are determined by the experimental result of internal friction of silicon nitride ceramics at different temperatures, and the experimental result is compared with calculated one.
