On the Dissipative Viscoelastic Constants of Higher Order

Open publisher page 13 citations
Abstract
The limitations imposed upon the usual elastic and viscoelastic constants are reinvestigated. Defining viscoelastic properties of a higher order, it is found that methods which have been used for the first-order quantities are insufficient to determine relationships between the higher-order constants. Necessary but non-sufficient criteria are arrived at by means of arguments involving energies in dissipative processes.
