TLDR
In this article, it is shown that the model fluid has a viscosity and that this has a simple dependence on the molecular functions, which leads to a simple interpretation of the memory effects which usually occur in such fluids.

A new constitutive equation derived from network theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive equation is derived from a Lodge-Yamamoto type of network theory for polymeric fluids, where the network junctions are not assumed to move strictly as points of the continuum but allowed a certain "effective slip".

A new microstructure-based constitutive model for human blood

TL;DR: In this paper, a new constitutive equation for whole human blood is derived using ideas drawn from temporary polymer network theory to model the aggregation and disaggregation of erythrocytes in normal human blood at different shear rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutive equations based on the transient network concept

TL;DR: In this article, a consitutive theory for polymetric liquids based on the transient network concept is developed, following Wiegel and Jongschaap, and the Phan-Thien-Tanner equation is shown to follow from the general theory with two critical assumption, one of these is quasi-equilibrium of the internal structure, which preludes consistency of application in fast flows.

A numerical stochastic approach to network theories of polymeric fluids

TL;DR: In this article, a new numerical approach is presented to exactly solve the convection equation arising in network theories, which is based on a direct stochastic interpretation of the convective equation.

The Visco-elastic Properties of Network Structure I. General Formalism

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the stress-strain-time (S − S − T )relation at each instance of macroscopic observations by using the statistical mechanical considerations of equilibrium states.
