Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Memory
July, 06
Conservation Laws in one-space dimension: Ut + F(U)x = 0 Elastic medium: the flux F is determined by the value U(x, t). Viscoelastic medium: the flux depends also on the past history
- f the medium U(x, τ) for τ < t.
Materials with fading memory that correspond to constitutive relations with flux of the form: F(U(x, t)) +
t
0 k(t − τ)G(U(x, τ)) dτ
(1) i.e. Ut + F(U)x +
t
0 k(t − τ)G(U(x, τ))x dτ = 0
