We prove the existence of a unique large-data global-in-time weak solution to a class of models of the form $ \boldsymbol{u}_{tt} = \mbox{div }\mathbb{T} + \boldsymbol{f} $ for viscoelastic bodies exhibiting strain-limiting behaviour, where the constitutive equation, relating the linearised strain tensor $ \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}( \boldsymbol{u}) $ to the Cauchy stress tensor $ \mathbb{T} $, is assumed to be of the form $ \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}( \boldsymbol{u}_t) + \alpha \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}( \boldsymbol{u}) = F( \mathbb{T}) $, where we define \(F(\mathbb{T}) = (1 + | \mathbb{T}|^a)^{-\frac{1}{a}} \mathbb{T}\), for constant parameters $ \alpha \in (0,\infty) $ and $ a \in (0,\infty) $, in any number $ d $ of space dimensions, with periodic boundary conditions. The Cauchy stress $ \mathbb{T} $ is shown to belong to $ L^{1}(Q)^{d \times d} $ over the space-time domain $ Q $. In particular, in three space dimensions, if $ a \in (0,\frac{2}{7}) $, then in fact $ \mathbb{T} \in L^{1+\delta}(Q)^{d \times d} $ for a $ \delta > 0 $, the value of which depends only on $ a $.

Keywords: Nonlinear viscoelasticity, strain-limiting theory, evolutionary problem, global existence, weak solution, regularity.
