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 theoretical results then provide the tools for performing methodologically better scientific work and for a better analysis of data in the practical application of materials. By publishing this work, the author hopes improve technical safety in transportation and other fields of practical materials application.
