2 Kinetic Theory of Rubber
We start by considering an elastic bar of any solid material, be it steel, aluminium, wood - or rubber. The bar is fixed to the bottom at one end and... -
8 Many Balloons – The Emergence of a Pseudoelastic Hysteresis
The hysteresis represented in Fig. 7.9 for an inflation-deflation process of two communicating balloons is only the beginning. Figure 8.1 shows the... -
5 Stability of a Single Balloon
We recall the pressure-radius characteristic given in (3.24) and its graph which is represented by the solid curve of Fig. 3.4. We assume the elastic... -
11 History of Rubber and Its Use
Despite its spectacular properties rubber was not much good for anything before the latter part of the 19th century. To be sure the Aztecs had used... -

Performance Study of a Novel Ejector-Cascade Refrigeration System with Regenerator
In this paper, a novel NH 3 /CO 2 ejector-cascade refrigeration system with regenerator is proposed, which can recycle the waste heat at the outlet of...

Primitive Path Models
Having discussed the range of applicability for various FENE chain models mostly listed in the upper part of Table 14.1 one may expect that we also... -
Concluding Remarks
The development of constitutive relationships which connect strain or strain rate with stress and material behavior is at the heart of a successful... -
Elongated Particle Models
In [292] we provided a statistical interpretation of the director theory of Ericksen and Leslie (EL) [293–295] for nematic liquid crystals. Starting... -
Simple Models for Polymeric and Anisotropic Liquids
We hope that the complexity of the world is neither in contrast with the simplicity of the basic laws of physics [1] nor with the simple physical... -
Simple Simulation Algorithms and Sample Applications
This section offers basic recipes and sample applications which allow the reader to immediately start his/her own simulation project on topics we... -

Chain Model for Concentrated Solutions and Melts
A dense collection of repulsive FENE chains serves as a suitable microscopic model for both entangled and unentangled polymer melts. We will consider... -
