TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a class of compressible isotropic elastic solids that are a sub-class of the new class of elastic bodies and show that practically all the universal solutions which are possible in classical Cauchy elastic bodies are also possible within the context of the subclass of elastic body that they consider.

TL;DR: A review of the evolution of constitutive relations that have been developed to describe the response of arterial tissues, their inadequacies, and the various quintessential aspects of the response that need to be taken into consideration can be found in this article .

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a more accurate model for describing flow induced crystallization within the thermomechanical framework created by Rao and Rajagopal [1, 2] to describe the problem of polymer crystallization in general and fiber spinning in particular.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for a continuum in which the strain rate depends linearly on the stress, as long as the latter is below a fixed threshold, but it is frozen to a constant value when the stress exceeds such a threshold.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of blended asphalt binders extracted from mixtures that contain various amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) is performed within a thermodynamically consistent non-linear viscoelastic (NVE) modeling framework, which has the advantage of accounting for the contributions of each of the constituents (i.e. virgin binder and RAP binder) to the response of the blended binder.
