Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A derivation is given of the nonlinear stress constitutive equation for viscoelastic materials with small dilatational changes. This particular derivation results in a form for the constitutive equations which is suitable for application in solving boundary value problems. The resulting equations are applied to obtain the quasi-static solution for a pressurized viscoelastic hollow cylinder bonded to an elastic casing. The inner boundary of the cylinder is assumed to be ablating and hence time-dependent. The problem is solved for linear and nonlinear, both incompressible and compressible, materials. For linear problems, both analytical and numerical solutions are obtained. For nonlinear problems, numerical solutions are evaluated by using finite difference techniques and assuming particular forms of kernel functions in the constitutive equation. The linear and nonlinear results are compared. The effects due to the material nonlinearity and compressibility are discussed. (Author).
