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

Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is used as a tool to probe the nonlinear
rheological response of a model elasto-viscoplastic material (a Carbopol microgel). In …

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 …

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 …

Material functions underlie our understanding of rheology. They form the descriptive
language of rheologists and require clear definitions. Here, it is shown that the definitions of …

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' …

We examine the simplest relevant molecular model for large-amplitude shear (LAOS) flow of
a polymeric liquid: the suspension of rigid dumbbells in a Newtonian solvent. We find explicit …

Rheological characterization of a high-density polyethylene is performed by means of
measurements of the storage and loss moduli with a new viscometric device. Shear viscosity …

Suspensions of quasimonodisperse polymethylmethacrylate spheres with mean diameters
of 4.7 and 3.1 μm, dispersed in a low-molecular-weight polydimethylsiloxane, were …
