amplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS) contain many Bessel functions, each appearing in
infinite sums. For the simplest relevant model of a polymeric liquid, the corotational Maxwell
fluid, Bessel functions appear 38 times in the exact solution. By relevant, we mean that
higher harmonics are predicted in LAOS. By contrast, approximate analytical solutions for
normal stress differences in LAOS often take the form of the first few terms of a power series …
