We consider a semi-discrete finite element method for a dynamic model for linear viscoelastic materials based on the constitutive law of fractional order. The corresponding integro-differential equation is of a Mittag-Leffler type convolution kernel. A 4-node hybrid stress quadrilateral finite element is used for the spatial discretization. We show the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete solution, then derive some error estimates. Finally, we provide several numerical examples to verify the theoretical results.
