Rayleigh waves in a viscoelastic half-space under initial hydrostatic stress in the presence of the temperature field.
Recovering a time- and space-dependent kernel in a hyperbolic integro-differential equation from a restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator.
Remarks on materials with memory
The mistaken notion that consistency with fading memory should require uniqueness is refuted by citation of the sources. Indeed, insistence on uniqueness would exclude many examples from non-linear elasticity and would exclude materials capable of exhibiting hysteresis.
Rheologies quasi wave number independent in a sphere and splitting the spectral line
The solution of the equations which govern the slow motions (for which the inertia forces are negligible) in an elastic sphere is studied for a great variety of rheological models and surface tractions with rotational symmetry (Caputo 1984a). The solution is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics and it is shown that its time dependent component is dependent on the order of the harmonic. The dependence of the time component of the solution on the order of the harmonic number is studied. The problem...
