A General Uniqueness Theorem in Nonlinear Viscoelasticity with Application to Temperature and Irradiation Induced Creep Problems.

Abstract

A general uniqueness theorem is first derived for a general constitutive relation in the form of a nonlinear memory integral with aging included. Uniqueness is proved for the solution to the dynamic mixed boundary value problem with small deformations. The general theorem is then specialized to a constitutive equation of the isotropic power law type governing thermoirradiation induced creep. (Author)
