Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Approach to the Description of Constitutive Relations
TL;DR: This article describes the development of implicit constitutive relations within the context of both fluid and solid mechanics to provide a means to describe a plethora of phenomena that have eluded explanation in biomechanics, response of colloids and mixtures, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of the microwave drying process of aqueous dielectrics
Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal,L. Tao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic framework for describing the microwave drying process of aqueous dielectrics based on the Maxwell-Lorentz field equations and mixture theory is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Constitutive Equations For Anisotropic Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Solids
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the constitutive equations can be expressed in terms of functions of 37 independent invariants, eight of them associated with the deformation and the orientation of the fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solutions of some boundary value problems for a new class of elastic bodies undergoing small strains. Comparison with the predictions of the classical theory of linearized elasticity: Part I. Problems with cylindrical symmetry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a special class of elastic bodies that have a nonlinear relationship between the linearized strain and the stress and study boundary value problems, the first concerning the telescopic shearing and inflation of a tube and the second being the extension, inflation and circumferential shearing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermodynamically compatible model for describing the response of asphalt binders
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model from a thermodynamic standpoint that seems capable of describing the nonlinear response of asphalt binders and tested the efficacy of the model by comparing its predictions against two different sets of torsion experiments.
