Extended constitutive laws for lamellar phases

Classically, stress and strain rate in linear viscoelastic materials are related by a constitutive relationship involving the viscoelastic modulus G(t).The same constitutive law, within Linear Response Theory, relates currents of conserved quantities and gradients of existing conjugate variables, and Polish it involves the autocorrelation functions
