Abstract

Some features of the behavior of viscoelastic materials whose existence leads to the choice of nonlinear constitutive relations are discussed. A classification of such constitutive relations is given and a number of requirements imposed by practice on their adequacy are formulated. A nonlinear theory of viscoelasticity is proposed; this theory offers the advantages over the theory in which stresses are expressed in terms of strains by integral operators of increasing multiplicity. By a one-dimensional example, it is shown that the constitutive operator relations are reciprocal.
