Abstract

The paper focuses on the construction of one particle homogenization schemes for an ageing linear viscoelastic composite. The composite consists of an isotropic host matrix and randomly located spheroidal inhomogeneities. Both phases are assumed to be ageing linear viscoelastic. Expressions for the effective viscoelastic properties in the frameworks of Non Interaction Approximation as well as Maxwell and Mori-Tanaka-Benveniste homogenization schemes are derived. A special attention is paid to the far-field solution to the one-particle problem since it plays a major role in the Maxwell scheme.
