    This paper deals with comparison and minimum theorems for viscoelasticity problems in time domain for bodies with anisotropy, heterogeneity and defects. The theorems involve a set of functionals build on thermodynamic quantities, namely the free energy and dissipation densities. These new comparison results are not subjected to severe restrictions as the corresponding results previously proposed in the literature.
