Abstract
We developed a new numerical method which converts creep data to dynamic moduli without relying on viscoelastic spectra of relaxation or retardation times. This algorithm is an improvement of the previous ones (Kwon et al., 2016) in the reduction of artificial waviness in the terminal regime as well as the noise due to measurement errors. The method is the application of the point-wise polynomial regression which reduces the polynomial order dramatically compared with previous method in order to suppress the waviness.
