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.

Non-affine motion and selection of slip coefficient in constitutive modeling of polymeric solutions using a mixed derivative

TL;DR: In this article , the eigendynamics of the conformation tensor within the GENERIC framework were studied in mesoscopic computer simulations of polymer solutions to separate the effects of nonaffine motion from other sources of non-Newtonian behavior.

Anisotropic Fluid Theory: A Different Approach to the Dumbbell Theory of Dilute Polymer Solutions

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.
