TL;DR: An overview of the developments in modelling of blood rheology and clot formation/lysis in the last 10 to 15 years is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the connection between two important parallel developments in continuum mechanics that has gone unnoticed despite intense activity in both these seemingly disparate areas: the first stems from the pioneering work of Eckart on the role of the evolution of natural configurations in the inelastic response of solids; the seminal work of Eshelby concerning the energy-momentum tensor associated with the driving forces that arise as a consequence of inhomogeneities and defects during the deformations of a solids.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that circularly polarized transverse stress waves, standing shear stress waves and oscillatory shear stresses can propagate in a new class of viscoelastic solid bodies which are a subclass of bodies described by implicit constitutive theories.

TL;DR: In this article, boundary-initial value problems were studied in the context of four rate type viscoelastic constitutive models, the Maxwell model, the Oldroyd-B model, Burgers model, and the generalized Burgers Model.

TL;DR: In this article, a class of non-universal inhomogeneous deformations of both compressible and incompressible isotropic non-linearly elastic wedges is studied and a necessary condition which the stored energy ought to satisfy, so that it may be possible to deform the body in the assumed manner, by the application of surface tractions.
