Abstract
This paper investigates the creep effect, the visco elastic behaviour of loudspeaker suspension parts, which
can be observed as an increase in displacement far below the resonance frequency. The creep effect means
that the suspension cannot be modelled as a simple spring. The need for an accurate creep model is even
larger as the validity of loudspeaker models are now sought extended far into the nonlinear domain of the
loudspeaker. Different creep models are investigated and implemented both in simple lumped parameter
models as well as time domain non-linear models, the simulation results are compared with a series of
measurements on three version of the same loudspeaker with different thickness and rubber type used in the
surround.
