TLDR
In this paper, a generalized hydrodynamic description of viscoelasticity is presented, which replaces the (often neglected) strain diffusion by a relaxation of the strain as a minimal ingredient, and can be used to get a nonlinear dynamic equation for the stress tensor.Abstract:
Nonlinear hydrodynamic equations for visco-elastic media are discussed. We start from the recently derived fully hydrodynamic nonlinear description of permanent elasticity that utilizes the (Eulerian) strain tensor. The reversible quadratic nonlinearities in the strain tensor dynamics are of the “lower convected” type, unambiguously. Replacing the (often neglected) strain diffusion by a relaxation of the strain as a minimal ingredient, a generalized hydrodynamic description of viscoelasticity is obtained. This can be used to get a nonlinear dynamic equation for the stress tensor (sometimes called constitutive equation) in terms of a power series in the variables. The form of this equation and in particular the form of the nonlinear convective term is not universal but depends on various material parameters. A comparison with existing phenomenological models is given. In particular we discuss how these ad-hoc models fit into the hydrodynamic description and where the various non-Newtonian contributions are coming from.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic approach to a continuum mechanical description of granular behavior is reviewed and elucidated by considering energy and momentum conservation simultaneously, the general formalism of hydrodynamics provides a systematic method to derive the structure of constitutive relations, including all gradient terms needed for nonuniform systems.

On the influence of a network on optically isotropic fluid phases with tetrahedral/octupolar order
Helmut R. Brand,Harald Pleiner +1 more
TL;DR: It turns out that the presence of both, a network as well as tetrahedral order can lead to the formation of chiral domains of both hands in an optically isotropic fluid due to a completely novel mechanism, thus providing a possible macroscopic explanation for recent experimental observations.

The non-linear field theories of mechanics
TL;DR: A theory aiming to describe their mechanical behavior must take heed of their deformability and represent the definite principles it obeys as mentioned in this paper, which is not the case in modern physics, since it concerns solely the small particles of matter.

On the Formulation of Rheological Equations of State
TL;DR: The invariant forms of rheological equations of state for a homogeneous continuum, suitable for application to all conditions of motion and stress, are discussed in this article, where the right invariance properties can most readily be recognized if the frame of reference is a co-ordinate system convected with the material.
