Modeling of viscoelastic shear: A nonlinear stick-slip formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a class of nonlinear dynamic viscoelastic models for materials subjected to shear stress. The model equations are based on a continuum variation of a reptation model in which chemically cross-linked (CC) systems of molecules act as constraint boxes per unit volume for physically constrained (PC) systems of molecules. Results from validating the model with dynamic shear experiments are given and a stability analysis for the corresponding linearized systems is discussed.

Microscopic and macroscopic aspects of stick-slip motion in granular shear.
An annular shear cell has been used to investigate a number of factors known to influence stick-slip motion in an assembly of near monosized, spherical glass beads. In this paper, both the sample shear stress and volumetric strain were recorded, allowing new insights into the possible mechanics of stick-slip motion in a granular body. Rather than the commonly presented mechanism of sample dilat...
متن کاملIdentification of nonmonotonic behaviors and stick-slip transition in liquid crystal polymers.
The recent identification of shear-induced phases in the isotropic melts of liquid crystal polymers shows that these materials are expected to display original nonlinear behaviors. We have investigated the flow behavior of a nematic sidechain polymer above its isotropic-nematic transition temperature. Nonlinear rheology and birefringence measurements indicate the appearance, above a critical sh...
متن کاملStick-slip dynamics of a granular layer under shear.
Stick-slip regime of shear granular flows is studied theoretically and numerically. Numerical experiments are carried out for a thin Couette cell using soft-particle molecular dynamics code in two dimensions. We apply order parameter theory of partially fluidized granular flows and find a good agreement with simulations and experiments by Nasuno et al.
متن کاملOn slip pulses at a sheared frictional viscoelastic/ non deformable interface
We study the possibility for a semi-infinite block of linear viscoelastic material, in homogeneous frictional contact with a non-deformable one, to slide under shear via a periodic set of “self-healing pulses”, i.e. a set of drifting slip regions separated by stick ones. We show that, contrary to existing experimental indications, such a mode of frictional sliding is impossible for an interface...
متن کاملSelf-consistent dynamics of wall slip.
A simple molecular model is studied to explain wall slip in a polymer melt. We consider a tube model for tethered chains in which the most important relaxation mechanisms: convective constraint release and chain stretching (retraction), are incorporated. Furthermore, we take the interactions between tethered chains and bulk flow self-consistently into account. Numerical simulations show that ou...
