Interconversion of the Linear Viscoelastic Functions

Abstract

As pointed out in the introduction to Chap. 4, all linear viscoelastic functions contain essentially the same information on the time dependent behavior of the material which they describe if they are known over the entire domain of their definition, i.e. over the complete range from zero to infinity of the time, t, frequency, ω, respondance time, τ, or transform variable, s. Thus, all linear viscoelastic response functions are, in principle, equivalent.
