Title An application of the fractional Green's function
Author(s) T. A. Surguladze (Moscow)
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.
