Abstract
The novel concept of spectral diffusivity is introduced to analyse the dissipative properties of continua. The dissipative components of a linear system of evolution equations are separated into noninteracting parts. This separation is similar to mode analysis in wave propagation. The new modal quantities characterise dissipation and best interpreted as effective diffusivities, or, in case of heat conduction, as effective heat conductivities of the material.
