Since the first publications of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) responses of
polymeric materials in the 1960s, different approaches have been developed to express …

To solve problems in polymer fluid dynamics, one needs the equations of continuity, motion,
and energy. The last two equations contain the stress tensor and the heat-flux vector for the …

A complete set of model-independent viscoelastic functions for understanding responses to
transient nonlinear rheological tests is presented, using large-amplitude oscillatory shear …

Viscoelasticity or rheology is important in polymer science and engineering because it plays
a crucial role in production and characterization of polymeric materials. Understanding the …

The Oldroyd 8-constant model is a continuum framework containing, as special cases, many
important constitutive equations for elastic liquids. When polymeric liquids undergo large …

Carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer nanocomposites exhibit excellent electrical properties by
forming a percolated network. Adding a secondary filler can significantly affect the CNTs' …

Oscillatory shearing is a popular method to understand transient nonlinear rheology.
Various viscoelastic metrics have been used to analyze oscillatory rheology with different …

Silly Putty, the classic toy that can stretch, bounce, snap, and mold, provides endless hours
of amusement. It is an elastic liquid, so-called because it simultaneously exhibits both solid …

In this paper, we provide a new exact framework for analyzing the most commonly measured
behaviors in large-amplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS), a popular flow for studying the …

The Oldroyd 8-constant framework for continuum constitutive theory contains a rich diversity
of popular special cases for polymeric liquids. In this paper, we use part of our exact solution …
