Sommario/riassunto

This treatment of ""Time-Dependent Mechanical Properties of Solids"" begins with a phenomenological description of the transport of some unspecified entity. It is assumed that the transport is caused by mechanical stresses or temperature fields. This hypothesis is based upon just a few well-established methods such as, for instance, the Zener theory of diffusion and the Inglis equation  for stress enhancementof. Using these assumptions, it is possible to deduce formulae for a theoretically based description of several phenomena



without referring to any specific process or entity. These theoret
