Using the single relaxation time corotational Maxwell fluid, we derive explicit analytical
expressions for the first, third, and fifth harmonics of the alternating shear stress response in …

Calendering is the process in which molten material is dragged through the nip region to
produce a film or sheet. By nip region, we mean the area between two corotating rolls. Here …

We compare the ratio of the amplitudes of the third to the first harmonic of the torque,,
measured in rotational parallel-disk flow, with the ratio of the corresponding harmonics of the …

This study examines the simplest relevant molecular model of a polymeric liquid in large-
amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) flow: the suspension of rigid dumbbells in a Newtonian …

Studies in transport phenomena have been limited to a select few coordinate systems.
Specifically, Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical, Dijksman toroidal, and bipolar cylindrical …

For highly viscous fluids that slip in parallel sliding plate rheometers, we want to use a
slightly converging flow to suppress this wall slip. In this work, we first attack the steady …
