A METHOD FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS OF LINEAR VISCOELASTICITY THEORY

For the solution of quasistatic viscoelasticity problems one makes wide use of the Volterra principle. Its use reduces the problem of the construction of the solution to the deciphering of the functions of the integral operators, obtained from the solving of the corresponding elastic problem by the formal replacement of the mechanical characteristics by integral operators. The representation of functions of operators in terms of operators of one form, permit to simplify in an essential manner the computations at the solving of viscoelastic problems by numerical methods.
