Numerical analysis of linear visco‐elastic materials requires robust and stable methods to integrate partial differential equations in both space and time. In this paper, symmetric space–time finite element operators are derived for the first time for elementary linear elastic spring and linear viscous dashpot. These can thereafter be assembled in parallel and in series to simulate an arbitrarily...
