Journal ArticleDOI
A thermomechanical framework for modeling the compaction of asphalt mixes
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear model for the compaction process within a thermodynamic framework that exploits the notion of a body possessing multiple natural configurations is developed to describe and study asphalt mix compaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
On a New Class of Models in Elasticity
TL;DR: In this paper, Rajagopal and Srinivasa showed that if by an elastic body one means a body that is incapable of dissipation, then the class of such bodies is far larger than either Green elastic or for that matter Cauchy elastic bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalizations of the Navier-Stokes fluid from a new perspective
TL;DR: In this article, a stress power-law model is proposed to express the kinematic quantities in terms of the stress of the velocity gradient, which can be used as a substitute for the classical power law models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flows of Incompressible Fluids subject to Navier's slip on the boundary
TL;DR: Close form analytical solutions are established for the flows of a generalized fluid of complexity two, which includes the Navier-Stokes fluid, power-law fluid and the second-grade fluid as special subclasses, in special geometries under the assumption that the flows meet Navier slip conditions at the boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Maxwell fluids with relaxation time and viscosity depending on the pressure
TL;DR: Using a generalized Maxwell model with pressure dependent material moduli, a variant of the well-known Maxwell model for viscoelastic fluids is considered, namely a Maxwell fluid with viscosity and relaxation time depending on the pressure.
