Stress relaxation following sudden cessation of steady shearing from polymer rotarance theory

MC Pak, AJ Giacomin, MA Kanso - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Deriving rheological material functions from rotarance theory proceeds in two steps. We first
solve the general diffusion equation to get the polymer orientation distribution, then we …
