Abstract
The tangent distribution function (TDF) is analyzed within the theory of linear viscoelasticity on mechanical properties. A proof is given that both the relaxation and retardation spectra can be derived from the TDF, through a Fredholm integral equation. Furthermore, the relaxation strength can be calculated as a consequence of this relationship. Finally, as an example, the relationship is applied to discrete spectra.
