Mechanical:Viscosity:Isotropic — Isotropic linear viscosity.

Discussion

Isotropic viscoelasticity is similar to isotropic elasticity, except that the modulus multiplies the first time derivative of the strain instead of the strain (6.2) itself. It makes a contribution of


      \[ g_{ijkl} \dot\epsilon_{kl} \]
    (6.53)

to the Stress, where


      \[ \dot\epsilon_{ij} = \frac12\left(\frac{\partial \dot u_i}{\partial x_j}
      + \frac{\partial \dot u_j}{\partial x_i}\right). \]
