Computing stresses using the stress function involves solving the equation:
[tex] \frac{\partial^4 \phi}{\partial x^4}+2\frac{\partial^4 \phi}{\partial x^2\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial^4 \phi}{\partial y^4}=-E\alpha_L\nabla^2T[/tex]
where the right side is a thermoelastic source.
Stress components then are simply:
[tex]\sigma_x=\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial y^2};\sigma_y=\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial x^2};\sigma_{xy}=\frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial x\partial y}[/tex]
My question is if it is possible to insert a term or modify the equation for linear viscoelasticity. I can easily take the computed stress function and then allow the resulting stresses to relax a posteriori, but this uncoupled solution would seem to not accurately model the way the residing stresses are distributed.
The equation for viscoelasticity is
[tex]\dot{\sigma}_{ij}=2\mu \dot{\epsilon}_{ij}+\delta_{ij}\left [\epsilon-K\alpha_V\dot{T}+{\color{red} \frac{K\mu}{\eta}(\epsilon-\alpha_V T)} \right ]-{\color{red} \frac{\mu}{\eta}\sigma_{ij}}[/tex]
where epsilon_ij is the strain component, epsilon is the net volumetric strain, alpha_V is volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion, K is bulk modulus, mu is shear modulus, eta is the viscosity, delta_ij is the kronecker delta, and the dot indicates differentiation with respect to time.
The red terms are the viscoelastic parts and the other terms are conventional to linear elasticity.
