Abstract: Abstract Breuer and Onat [42] considered the following question: what is the maximum amount of work recoverable from a body that has undergone a specified strain history? They found that the answer for linear viscoelastic memory materials is provided by the solution of an integral equation of Wiener–Hopf type, which is in fact a special case of the result given in Sect. 5.2 . They gave a detailed solution by elementary means for a material with relaxation functionRelaxation function in the form of a finite sum of decaying exponentials. The nonuniqueness Free energy nonuniqueness problem was also explicitly exposed by these authors [43].
