Stress relaxation, creep, failure and hysteresis in a linear elastic material with voids. (English) Zbl 0535.73080

Summary: The author studies several specific boundary-value problems in a theory recently proposed to model linear elastic materials with voids [S. C. Cowin and J. W. Nunziato, ibid. 13, 125-147 (1983; Zbl 0523.73008)]. It is shown that, in addition to the known fact that the model exhibits stress relaxation, it also exhibits creep, hysteresis, and a phenomenon which can be interpreted as failure. In order to maintain plausible physical behavior, the author suggests an a priori inequality not contained in the original theory.
