On implicit constitutive theories

Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are...

Some thoughts on the material mechanics of materials.

Gérard A. Maugin (1999)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper outlines recent developments and prospects in the application of the continuum mechanics expressed intrinsically on the material manifold itself. This includes applications to materially inhomogeneous materials, physical effects which, in this vision, manifest themselves as quasi-inhomogeneities, and the notion of thermodynamical driving force of the dissipative progress of singular point sets on the material manifold with special emphasis on fracture, shock waves and phase-transition...
