Abstract: Stress analysis problems for linear viscoelastic material behavior are solved on the basis of integral operator stress-strain relations. These characterize the material by relaxation modulus functions ...

Abstract: The development of residual stress distributions in thermoviscoelastic materials due to surface cooling is considered. They arise because the nonuniform thermal contraction generates irreversible ...

Abstract: A continuum theory of finite, plane deformations of composites consisting of materials reinforced by strong fibers is discussed. The composite is assumed to be incompressible, and the fibers are ...
