Abstract: We explore the well-posedness of the fractional version of Zener's wave equation for viscoelastic solids, which is based on a constitutive law relating the stress tensor to the strain tensor , with being the displacement vector, defined by: . Here mu,lambdainmathrmLinfty(Omega), mu is the shear modulus bounded below by a positive constant, and lambdageq0 is first Lam'e coefficient, Dtalpha, with alphain(0,1), is the Caputo time-derivative, au>0 is the characteristic relaxation time and hogeqau is the characteristic retardation time. We show that, when coupled with the equation of motion , considered in a bounded open Lipschitz domain Omega in mathbbR3 and over a time interval (0,T], where varrhoinmathrmLinfty(Omega) is the density of the material, bounded below by a positive constant, and is a specified load vector, the resulting model is well-posed in the sense that the associated initial-boundary-value problem, with initial conditions , , , for mathbfxinOmega, and a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, possesses a unique weak solution for any choice of , , and , and any load vector , and that this unique weak solution depends continuously on the initial data and the load vector.
