TLDR
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".Abstract:
A constitutive equation is derived from a Lodge—Yamamoto type of network theory for polymeric fluids. The network junctions are not assumed to move strictly as points of the continuum but allowed a certain “effective slip”. The rates of creation and destruction of junctions are assumed to depend on the instantaneous elastic energy of the network, or equivalently, the average extension of the network strand, in a simple manner. Agreement between model predictions and the I.U.P.A.C. data on L.D.P.E. is good.read more

Local projection stabilized finite element modeling of viscoelastic two-phase flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-field local projection stabilized finite element method is developed for computations of a 3D-axisymmetric buoyancy driven bubble rising in a liquid column in which either the bubble or the liquid column can be viscoelastic.
Towards the computation of the dynamic behaviour of rubber materials
TL;DR: In this article, two constitutive equations describing the three-dimensional behavior of a nonlinear viscoelastic rubber material are investigated: the multi mode upperconvected Maxwell model and Lianis' constitutive equation for small strains superposed on a finite deformation.

Torsion and normal force responses of glassy polymers in the sub-yield regime
TL;DR: In this article, an approach that uses ideas of finite deformation elasticity and applies them to the isochronal response of glassy polymers in torsional deformations is presented.

Anisotropic Fluid Theory: A Different Approach to the Dumbbell Theory of Dilute Polymer Solutions
R. J. Gordon,W. R. Schowalter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the continuum theory of anisotropic fluids, as developed by Ericksen and others, to formulate an expression for the time derivative of the end-to-end vector of a linear macromolecule when used in conjunction with the equation describing the distribution function for a dilute solution of dumbbell elements.
