Kannan, K.; Rajagopal, K. R. A thermomechanical framework for the transition of a viscoelastic liquid to viscoelastic solid. (English) Zbl 1043.74003 Math. Mech. Solids 9, No. 1, 37-59 (2004). From the summary: We present a thermomechanical framework to describe the transition from a viscoelastic fluid to a viscoelastic solid, in which the kinetics associated with the transition and the change of response characteristics prior to, during, and after the transition are modeled within a unified setting. The procedures fit within the general thermodynamic framework that has been developed to describe the response of materials that can exist stress-free in multiple configurations.
