Abstract We study a viscoelastic body involving a constitutive equation with distributed order fractional derivatives of complex order. Using a dissipation inequality in a weak form, we derive a sufficient conditions on coefficients of a model that guarantee that the Second law of thermodynamics under isothermal conditions is satisfied. Several known constitutive equations follow from our model as special cases. As an application, a new constitutive equation is related to an equation of motion of a generalized linear oscillator.
