Abstract
Viscoelastic relations may be expressed in both integral and differential forms. Integral forms are very general and appropriate for theoretical work. Differential forms are related to rheological models that provide a more direct physical interpretation of viscoelastic behavior. In this chapter we describe the most usual rheological models, deduce their differential equations and, by solving them, we find the corresponding integral representations. These relations will be set in a more computational friendly form in Chap. 3 and extended to three-dimensional situations in Chap. 4 and then used in analytical and computational solutions.
