[edit] Thermodynamic theory of polymer elasticity

Hi, guys, thanks for your contributions regarding the molecular origin of polymer viscoelasticity. This is a very important topic, but I do not believe it belongs to the viscoelasticity article. There are non-polymer materials that exhibit viscoelasticity. Many rubber-like substances can be considered perfectly elastic, etc. Thus, I moved your text to the new article Thermodynamic theory of polymer elasticity. Please work there.

[edit] Quasi-linear viscoelasticity

It would be nice if there was a section on the quasi-linear viscoelasticity. It is a very important topic when talking about the mechanical properties of soft tissues.71.199.128.182

[edit] Types of viscoelasticity: Volterra equation

What is called a Volterra equation here might be better discribed as a linear response. Reference to linear response function?
