Journal ArticleDOI
Conspectus of concepts of elasticity
TL;DR: In this article, the notions of Cauchy elastic and Green elastic bodies are discussed, and the authors find that such bodies need not be Green elastic, since the stress is not derivable from the stored energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of strain-induced crystallization of polymers
TL;DR: Rajagopal et al. as mentioned in this paper used a recent framework that associates different natural states and material symmetries with distinct microstructures of the body and studied the problem of strain-induced crystallization of polymeric materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanical behavior of asphalt
TL;DR: Cheung et al. as discussed by the authors used a thermodynamic framework for the constitutive modeling of asphalt and modeled asphalt as a material with multiple relaxation mechanisms, which can exist in more than one natural configuration (for instance, stress free configuration).
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermodynamic framework for the study of crystallization in polymers
TL;DR: In this article, a new thermodynamic framework was proposed to predict the behavior of crystallizing polymers, which is capable of capturing the transition from a fluid like behavior to a solid like behavior in a rational manner without appealing to any adhoc transition criterion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow of a non-Newtonian fluid past a wedge
TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudo-similarity solution for the flow of an incompressible fluid of second grade past a wedge has been obtained for any value of the parameters K anda, where K is the dimensionless normal stress modulus of the fluid, anda is related to the wedge angle.
