Journal ArticleDOI

A constrained mixture model for growth and remodeling of soft tissues

TL;DR: It was thought that the most important characteristics of soft tissues were their complex mechanical properties: they often exhibit nonlinear, anisotropic, nearly incoherent, and often incoherent properties as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluids of differential type: Critical review and thermodynamic analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an extended analysis of the genesis and development of fluids of differential type, and show that certain ideas of flow retardation and model approximation have been consistently misinterpreted.

Mechanics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this article, a discussion of a mixture of immiscible fluids is given, and the status of Darcy's law within the context of mixture theory is discussed. And the entropy inequality constitutive theory steady state problems diffusing singular surface wave propagation in solids infused with fluids are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow of a viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet

TL;DR: In this paper, the flow of an incompressible second-order fluid past a stretching sheet is studied, and the authors present a study of the flow in the presence of a stretch sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI

A thermodynamic frame work for rate type fluid models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a thermodynamic approach for modeling a class of viscoelastic fluids based on the notion of an evolving natural configuration, where the material has a family of elastic responses governed by a stored energy function that is parametrized by the ''natural configurations''. Changes in the current natural configuration result in dissipative behavior that is determined by a rate of dissipation function.
