TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a pair of simplified tube models for polydisperse melts of entangled linear polymers that combine the success of the double reptation approximation [des Cloizeaux, Europhys. Lett. 5, 437-442 (1988)] in the linear regime with the success in the Rolie-Poly constitutive equation [Likhtman et al., J. Non Newtonian Fluid Mech. Rheol. 56, 823-873 (2012)], which is able to predict the linear and nonlinear rheology

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-fluid Rolie-poly approximation for entangled polymer solutions is studied and the authors show that the time to reach steady state becomes very long as the gap width increases.

TL;DR: In this article, a tensorial constitutive model for dense, shear-thickening particle suspensions subjected to time-dependent flow is developed, whereby friction proliferates among compressive contacts at large particle stresses.

TL;DR: Lin et al. as discussed by the authors developed a tensorial constitutive model for dense, shear-thickening particle suspensions that combines rate-independent microstructural evolution with a stress-dependent jamming threshold.

TL;DR: It is argued that such compartment models, by allowing social data of arbitrary granularity to be combined with Bayesian parameter estimation for poorly-known disease variables, could enable more powerful and robust prediction than other approaches to detailed epidemic modelling.
