Abstract
Fundamentals of a mathematical model for the description of rheological processes in materials that are homogeneous on the macroscale and heterogeneous on the microscale are outlined. The merits of the approach are its simplicity, generality, ability to distinguish continuous and discontinuous infrastructures of the constituents and the ease with which the necessary input data can be acquired from experiments. Two schematic examples are presented.
