Non-maximum entropy polymer elasticity, viscoelasticity and the lattice Boltzmann method
Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 291-303). === Various models of viscoelasticity exist based on continuum mechanics. In this work a statistical mechanical approach is taken to derive a new isotropic, hyperelastic, viscoelastic, incompressible constitutive equation for p...
