Abstract
Meixner's theory of anisotropic viscoelasticity is extended to the case in which stimulus and response are thermodynamic variables in general and several characteristic features of response functions, which describe the departures of a macroscopic homogeneous system from thermodynamic equilibrium produced by time dependent external disturbances, are discussed at some length from a purely phenomenological standpoint of irreversible thermodynamics. Some conclusions, which may be of some use in relaxation spectrometry, are obtained regarding, for example, the characteristic types of response functions and interrelationships among several response functions, etc.
