Abstract

In this paper, we introduce creep and relaxation contribution tensors that describe the effect of individual pores on the overall viscoelastic properties of a porous material. Explicit analytical expressions for these tensors are obtained using the elastic–viscoelastic correspondence principle and the Laplace transform. This becomes possible when viscoelastic properties are expressed in terms of fraction-exponential operators of Rabotnov (J Appl Math Mech (PMM) 12:53–62, 1948). Creep and relaxation contribution tensors can serve as the basic building blocks for the calculation of overall viscoelastic properties of porous hereditary materials.
