| Abstract |
By means of the fractional Green's function, direct and inverse
relations are obtained for some models of viscoelastic bodies.
An advantage of the method is that its application
requires the following standard procedures:
to find the one-sided Green's function for ordinary differential operators;
to find a certain polynomial on the basis of some simple rule; to find fractional
derivatives of elementary functions.
The theory of viscoelasticity is concerned with processes
in which the state of a mechanical system depends on the
entire history of all actions experienced by the system.
In recent years, the intensive development of this theory
has been determined by
numerous technical applications connected with studying the phenomena of
creep in metals, plastics, concrete, rocks, and other bodies.
This theory has acquired great importance for the strength analysis
of new materials, especially, polymers, because of their industrial applications.
A detailed exposition of linear and nonlinear theories of
viscoelasticity can be found in [1-4].
Among the methods to obtain constitutive relations for viscoelastic
materials, we mention those of fractional calculus, which have been
frequently used during the last eighty years. Basic principles of
fractional calculus are given in [5, 6]. [See also T. A.
