Abstract

The viscoelastic constitutive relations presented so far were developed under the hypothesis of isothermal conditions. However, most viscoelastic materials, particularly polymers, have temperature dependent constitutive relations. The mechanisms responsible for these thermal effects have micro-structural origin and are, consequently, complex. In this chapter we present a brief description on temperature effects on the linear viscoelasticity behavior of polymers and concrete and a simplified formulation that is adequate for the so called thermo-rheologically simple materials.
