Abstract
A mathematical model is developed to describe the energy flow equation associated with the dynamics of a viscoelastic continuum excited externally and subject to boundary conditions. The model is applied to a selection of simple examples to illustrate the concepts of an energy flow density vector, energy flow line, energy potential and an energy equipotential surface. On this basis, a brief comparison between mechanical and therna.l energy flows is conducted.
JTX expresses his thanks to NSFC for supporting the related research in China.
