TL;DR: In this paper, a linear theory of elastic materials with voids is presented, which differs significantly from classical linear elasticity in that the volume fraction corresponding to the void volume is taken as an independent kinematical variable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of some recent theoretical and experimental developments in the field of nonlinear viscoelastic wave propagation in general materials with memory and discuss the correlation of these theoretical predictions with some recent experimental results obtained for a particular polymeric solid.

TL;DR: A continuum mixture theory for the slow flow of a dilute suspension of solid particles in a viscous fluid is outlined in this article, where explicit constitutive equations are posed that specialize the drag to include Stokes and Faxen forces, and the lift to accommodate the "slip-shear" force identified by Saffman and the "disturbance-curvature" forces treated by Ho and Leal.
