Existence and Uniqueness Results for Viscoelastic Materials

Crack and Contact Problems for Viscoelastic Bodies

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 356))

Abstract

In this course some analytical problems present in the mathematical theory of the viscoelasticity will be studied. In particular we consider:

  • the definition of materials with fading memory, without the use of a-priori topologies on the history space, but only impose directly this condition of fading memory on the constitutive functional,

  • the derivation of free energies for the linear problem and their connection with the norms of history spaces

  • a theorem on the domain of dependence proved by means of the free energies properties; this theorem asserts the finite velocity of the signal and assures the hyperbolicity of the integrodifferential system

  • theorems of existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability for the quasi-static and dynamical problem of linear viscoelasticity.
