Viscoelasticity in Polymers: Phenomenological to Molecular Mathematical Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on two recent advances in the modelling of viscoelastic polymers: (i) a new constitutive model which combines the virtual stick-slip continuum “molecular-based” ideas of Johnson and Stacer with the Rouse bead chain ideas; (ii) a two-dimensional version of a model that accounts for stenosis-driven shear wave propagation in biotissue.

A Brief Review of Some Approaches to Hysteresis in Viscoelastic Polymers
We give a brief review of hysteresis in viscoelastic polymers. The efforts surveyed range from phenomenological to molecular modelling with applications involving recent efforts on elastomers to biotissue.
متن کاملA thermodynamic theory of solid viscoelasticity. Part I: Linear viscoelasticity
The present series of three consecutive papers develops a general theory for linear and fmite solid viscoelasticity. Because the most important object for nonlinear studies are rubber-like materials, the general approach is specified in a form convenient for solving problems important for many industries that involve rubber-like materials. General linear and nonlinear theories for non-isotherma...
متن کاملSingle-particle tracking: Brownian dynamics of viscoelastic materials.
A unifying theoretical framework for analyzing stochastic data from single-particle tracking (SPT) in viscoelastic materials is presented. A generalization of the bead-spring model for linear polymers is developed from a molecular point of view and from the standpoint of phenomenological linear viscoelasticity. The hydrodynamic interaction in the former is identified as the dashpots in the latt...
