Abstract

Dissipative materials are modelled as linear viscoelastic and the thermodynamic restrictions are investigated in detail. For definiteness, attention is mainly confined to solids. Some concepts about thermodynamics and dissipativity in materials with memory are re-visited. Next wave propagation is considered and emphasis is given to the consequences of thermodynamic restrictions on the amplitude evolution. Waves are described as surface discontinuities, time-harmonic waves, rays. The known properties of surface discontinuities are recalled to emphasize the exponential attenuation induced by thermodynamics. Particular attention is then addressed to the description of time-harmonic inhomogeneous waves and asymptotic rays in isotropic and anisotropic solids. Recent results are exhibited along with some work in progress.
