Abstract
Starting from a Lagrangean formalism for a liner visco-elastic continuum the dissipative forces are eliminated by an appropriate transformation. The equation of motion is then obtained by variation of the action integral in terms of Green's functions. The result can be expressed as astring equation with a damping term. The contribution of the shear viscicity to the damping constant is calculated on the basis of a Grüneisen constant for shear. Effective mass and line tension are also given.
