Abstract

The paper contains the results of investigation of elastic and viscous properties of rubber-like materials with orientational order. The elastic properties are described with the help of the introduced microscopic Cauchy-Green tensor. The obtained results describe the nonlinear elastic properties well and predict the existence of the soft modes. In the theory of viscous properties the approved model for the time correlation function of the microscopic stress tensor is used.

Keywords
