Abstract

The system of equations of motion for a liquid and a solid with internal parameters — scalars and second-order tensors — is written out in the linear approximation. From the system of equations for the class of motions with velocity gradients independent of the coordinates there follows the known equation of the linear theory of viscoelasticity. It is shown that the correct description of the motions of polymer systems requires a quadratic approximation. A nonlinear variant of the theory of viscoelasticity, in which spectral functions that depend on the internal parameters are introduced, is proposed.
