Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical oscillators with dampers defined by implicit constitutive relations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the vibrations of lumped parameter systems, the spring being defined by the classical linear constitutive relationship between the spring force and the elongation while the dashpot is described by a general implicit relationship between damping forces and the velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of ideas associated with materials with memory to modeling the inelastic behavior of solid bodies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new way to describe the rate-independent inelastic behavior of metals undergoing finite deformations, which is based on the history of stress-free or natural configurations in the strain space relative to the current natural configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lubrication approximation of flows of a special class of non-Newtonian fluids defined by rate type constitutive equations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the flow of a rate-type fluid defined by an implicit constitutive equation in a channel with nonflat walls, and they developed a model based on the evidence that many lubricants seem to be well described by implicit rate type fluid models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further mathematical results concerning Burgers fluids and their generalizations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the earlier work by Quintanilla and Rajagopal and establish qualitative new results for a proper generalization of Burgers' original work that stems form a general thermodynamic framework.
Book ChapterDOI
Regulation of Hemostatic System Function by Biochemical and Mechanical Factors
TL;DR: This work reviews the components of the hemostatic and negative regulatory systems and their biochemical functions, and the roles that local hemodynamics play in the regulation of hemostasis.
