With reference to the nonaging linear viscoelastic problem, three convolutive type
variational formulations existing in the literature are critically reviewed: the Gurtin
formulation, the split Gurtin formulation and the Huet formulation. The formulations
are used for the numerical solution of the hereditary viscoelastic problem through
spatial and temporal discretizations considering both a finite time range and using a
step-by-step method of time marching. Several numerical examples are included and
numerical results are compared with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of the
variational formulations in the numerical solution of the viscoelastic problem.
