contents Motivated by the recent experimental and analytical developments enabling high-fidelity material characterization of (heterogeneous) sheet-like solid specimens, we seek to elucidate the constitutive behavior of linear viscoelastic solids under the plane stress condition. More specifically, our goal is to expose the relationship between the plane-stress viscoelastic constitutive parameters and their (native) ``bulk'' counterparts. To facilitate the sought reduction of the three-dimensional (3D) constitutive behavior, we deploy the concept of projection operators and focus on the frequency-domain behavior by resorting to the Fourier transform and the mathematical framework of tempered distributions, which extends the Fourier analysis to functions (common in linear viscoelasticity) for which Fourier integrals are not convergent. In the analysis, our primary focus is the on class of linear viscoelastic solids whose 3D rheological behavior is described by a set of constant-coefficient ordinary differential equations, each corresponding to a generic arrangement of ``springs'' and ``dashpots''. On reducing the general formulation to the isotropic case, we proceed with an in-depth investigation of viscoelastic solids whose bulk and shear modulus each derive from a suite of classical ``spring and dashpot'' configurations. To enable faithful reconstruction of the 3D constitutive parameters of natural and engineered solids via (i) thin-sheet testing and (ii) applications of the error-in-constitutive-relation approach to the inversion of (kinematic) sensory data, we also examine the reduction of thermodynamic potentials describing linear viscoelasticity under the plane stress condition. The analysis is complemented by a set of analytical and numerical examples, illustrating the effect on the plane stress condition on the behavior of isotropic and anisotropic viscoelastic solids.
