Synopsis

We study the equations of viscoelasticity in a multidimensional setting for the ‘no-traction’ boundary data. For the sake of modelling phase transitions we do not assume elliptieity of the stored energy function W. We construct dynamics in W1,2(Ωℝn) globally in time. Next, we study the question of stability for a class of equilibria. Moreover, we show a certain kind of decay in time of solutions for arbitrary initial conditions.
