Abstract In this paper the viscoelastic creep compliances of various composites are estimated by the self-consistent method. The phases may be arbitrarily anisotropic and in any concentrations but we demand that one of the phases be a matrix and the remaining phases consist of ellipsoidal inclusions. The theory is succinctly formulated with the help of Stieltjes convolutions. In order to solve the title problem, we first solve the misfitting viscoelastic inclusion problem. Numerical solutions are given for a selection of inclusion problems and for two common composite materials, namely an isotropic dispersion of spheres, and a uni-directional fibre reinforced material.
