Abstract

Day showed that for a linear anisotropic viscoelastic material the kernels in the memory integral are necessarily symmetric, if the dissipation associated with an arbitrary strain history extending from the infinite past to the infinite future is invariant under time-reversal. It is shown in the present note how these ideas can be extended to yield the Onsager-Casimir reciprocal relations, at any rate in certain cases.

Zusammenfassung

Day hat gezeigt, dass für ein lineares anisotropes viskoelastisches Material die Kerne bei der quellenmässigen Darstellung notwendigerweise symmetrisch sind, wenn die Dissipation, welche einer beliebigen Verzerrungsgeschichte zwischent=−∞ undt=+∞ entsprechen, unter Zeitumkehr invariant ist. In der vorliegenden Mitteilung wird dieser Gedanke so erweitert, dass — mindestens in gewissen Fällen — die Reziprozitätsrelationen von Onsager-Casimir erhalten werden.
