Effective properties of time dependent materials
Abstract
The aims of this lecture are twofold. First, it intends to review a few results, some of them being classical and others being more recent, for the effective behavior of linear viscoelastic composites. Second it will show how some of the techniques recently developed for nonlinear composites governed by a single potential (hyperelastic or purely viscous) can be extended to time-dependent nonlinear composites.
