Wave equation for generalized Zener model containing complex order fractional derivatives

Analysis of PDEs 2017-02-01 v1

Abstract

We study waves in a viscoelastic rod whose constitutive equation is of generalized Zener type that contains fractional derivatives of complex order. The restrictions following from the Second Law of Thermodynamics are derived. The initial-boundary value problem for such materials is formulated and solution is presented in the form of convolution. Two specific examples are analyzed.
