Resumen de Viscoelasticity in polymers: Phenomenological to molecular mathematical modeling

H. T. Banks, N.S. Luke, J.R. Samuels (Jr.)

• We report on two recent advances in the modeling of viscoelastic polymers: (i) a new constitutive model that combines the virtual stick-slip continuum molecular-based ideas of Johnson and Stacer with the Rouse bead chain ideas; (ii) a two-dimensional version of a model that accounts for stenosis-driven shear wave propagation in biotissue. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
