An interesting method of fitting was presented with the introduction, some years ago, of the model 310 curve resolver by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. With this equipment, the operator chose between superpositions of Gaussian and Cauchy functions electronically generated and visually superimposed on the data record. The operator had freedom to adjust the component parameters and seek a visual best match to the data. The curve resolver provided an excellent graphic demonstration of the ambiguities that can result when any method is employed to resolve curves, whether the fit is visually based or firmly rooted in rigorous least squares. The operator of the model 310 soon discovered that, when data comprise two closely spaced peaks, acceptable fits can be obtained with more than one choice of parameters. The closer the blended peaks, the wider was the choice of parameters. The part played by noise also became rapidly apparent. The noisy data trace allowed the operator additional freedom of choice, when he considered the error bar that is implicit at each data point. 

If At 6 E is a function of a real or complex parameter t, we can define differentiation and integration with respect to t, usual rules of operations being applicable to them. Also regularity (analyticity) of At can be defined and Cauchy s, Taylor s and Laurent s theorems are extended to these regular functions. 

The volumetric constitutive equations for a chemoporoelastic material can be formulated in terms of the stress S = a,p, it and the strain 8 = e, (, 9, i.e., in terms of the mean Cauchy stress a, pore pressure p, osmotic pressure it, volumetric strain e, variation of fluid content (, and relative increment of salt content 9. Note that the stress and strain are measured from a reference initial state where all the stress fields are equilibrated. The osmotic pressure it is related to the change in the solute molar fraction x according to 7r = N Ax where N = RT/v is a parameter with dimension of a stress, which is typically of 0( 102) MPa (with R = 8.31 J/K mol denoting the gas constant, T the absolute temperature, and v the molar volume of the fluid). The solute molar fraction x is defined as ms/m with m = ms + mw and ms (mw) denoting the moles of solute (solvent) per unit volume of the porous solid. The quantities ( and 9 are defined in terms of the increment Ams and Amw according to...

Prediction of the second normal stress difference in shear and thermodynamic consistency obviously requires the use of a different strain measure including of the Cauchy strain tensor in the form of the K-BKZ model. With the ratio of second to first normal stress difference as a new parameter, Wagner and Demarmels [32] have shown that this is also necessary for accurate prediction of other flow situations such as equibiaxial extension, for example. 

The connection between the double value of the slip parameter obtained from the viscometric functions and the violation of the Lodge-Meissner rule becomes more evident when the time-strain separability of the model is considered. For this purpose, the Johnson-Segalman model can be rewritten under the form of a single integral equation, cancelling the Cauchy term, which gives the following form in simple shear flows ... 

The deformation is assumed to result in chain slippage but some chain entanglement will influence the mechanical response. This feature is assumed to be lumped into the parameters q and m so that no back stress contribution appears above Tg. Therefore, the driving stress reduces to a = o and the equivalent shear stress x in (4) is that of the Cauchy stress o. 

In our knowledge robust estimators have not been applied in nonlinear dynamic real plant data yet. The first comparative study among some robust estimators in DR has been presented by Ozyurt and Pike (2004). They conclude that the estimators based on Cauchy and Hampel distributions give promising results, however did not consider dynamic systems. Other earlier studied has been accomplished by Basu and Paliwal (1989) in autoregressive parameter robust estimation issues, showing that for their case the Welsch estimator produced the best results.

Of course, all these exponents, potentially, are Cauchy Principle parameters for variation subject to whatever optimizing condition is applied ... 

The starting point of the investigation is the introduction of a scalar microstruc-tural parameter k which contributes to the total energy E of the body under study as pointed out in Refs. [38] and 39]. In Eq. (1) p, s and x are the mass density, the specific internal energy density and the velocity, respectively. The parameter k in the product pk describes microstructural properties and transfers the square of the rate of k to the dimensions of a specific energy density. In addition, the energy supply Ri and the energy flux R2 are also modified in the form of Eqs. (2) and (3), wherein pb is the body force density, pg is the supply of K, and p r is the heat supply. Further quantities are the stress vector t = T n associated to the Cauchy stress tensor T and to the outer normal n, the microstructural flux s = S n and the heat flux qi = —q n.
