Abstract
Besides models of the differential type considered in Chap.7, in continuum mechanics there are other types of nonideal media. One widely uses models of viscoelastic materials, which are also called continua of the integral type, or hereditarily elastic continua. Models of viscoelastic continua most adequately describe the mechanical properties of polymer materials, composites based on polymers, different elastomers, rubbers and biomaterials, in particular, human muscular tissues.
