Fading memory effects in elastic-viscoelastic composites
Fading memory spaces and approximate cycles in linear viscoelasticity
Finite elements methods for solving viscoelastic thin plates
The present paper deals with numerical solution of a viscoelastic plate. The discrete problem is defined by -elements and a linear multistep method. The effect of numerical integration is studied as well. The rate of cnvergence is established. Some examples are given in the conclusion.
Free energy and internal variables in linear viscoelasticity
In connection with the determination of the free energy functional for the viscoelastic stress tensor, a viscoelastic material is considered as described by a material with internal variables. In this framework the free energy is uniquely determined. It proves to be the minimal one in the class of thermodynamically admissible free energies.
