Abstract The underlying thermodynamic aspects of linear viscoelasticity are discussed. In particular, from the Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics theory we systematically derive the Maxwell model exhibiting its compatibility with thermo-dynamics and assessing its conditions of validity. We also calculate the equilibrium transverse velocity auto-correlation function and the frequency dependent shear viscosity. Nonlinear generalizations of our model are suggested and the possible role of extended thermodynamics in selecting constitutive equations is also discussed.
