Global viscoelastic behavior of heterogeneous thermoelastic materials

Abstract

The global viscoelastic response of heterogeneous linear thermoelastic material with remote boundaries is characterized. Memory effects result from the dissipation of energy due to microscopic temperature gradients. A Fourier transform technique is used to formulate the problem as an integral equation in the image space. Using a perturbation expansion, analytical results are obtained for two- and three-dimensional examples.
