Abstract

Differential equations describing the behavior of continuous media with creep involve integral type operators, in accordance with Volterra’s linear theory, which is applicable to a wide range of materials with amorphous and heterogeneous structures. In these equations, the kernel of the integral operator is represented as a sum of exponentials or as a weakly singular kernel (Rabotnov function). Obtaining an analytical solution for the equations in question is problematic in some cases, so it is necessary to develop a numerical method and algorithm, taking into account the memory of the considered medium. In this paper, the equations are solved using the grid-characteristic method and dimensional splitting (for multidimensional problems). The approximation and stability of the proposed method are numerically investigated.
