This treatment of “time-dependent mechanical properties of solids” beginswith a phenomenological description of the transport of some unspecifiedentity. It is assumed that the transport is caused by mechanical stresses ortemperature fields. Using these assumptions, it is possible to deduceformulae for a theoretically based description of several phenomena withoutreferring to any specific process or entity. These theoretical results thenprovide the tools for performing methodologically better scientific work andfor a better analysis of data in the practical application of materials. Bypublishing this work, the author hopes improve technical safety intransportation and other fields of practical materials application. Anothergoal is to stimulate the scientific investigation of a wider range ofsubstances in order to analyze more extensively the elementary processeswhich produce observed phenomena.
