Deformation, tensor

Theoretically the apparent viscosity of generalized Newtonian fluids can be found using a simple shear flow (i.e. steady state, one-dimensional, constant shear stress). The rate of deformation tensor in a simple shear flow is given as...

The elongation viscosity defined by Equation (1.19) represents a uni-axial extension. Elongational flows based on biaxial extensions can also be considered. In an equi-biaxial extension the rate of deformation tensor is defined as... 

All of the described differential viscoelastic constitutive equations are implicit relations between the extra stress and the rate of deformation tensors. Therefore, unlike the generalized Newtonian flows, these equations cannot be used to eliminate the extra stress in the equation of motion and should be solved simultaneously with the governing flow equations. 

The practical and computational complications encountered in obtaining solutions for the described differential or integral viscoelastic equations sometimes justifies using a heuristic approach based on an equation proposed by Criminale, Ericksen and Filbey (1958) to model polymer flows. Similar to the generalized Newtonian approach, under steady-state viscometric flow conditions components of the extra stress in the (CEF) model are given a.s explicit relationships in terms of the components of the rate of deformation tensor. However, in the (CEF) model stress components are corrected to take into account the influence of normal stresses in non-Newtonian flow behaviour. For example, in a two-dimensional planar coordinate system the components of extra stress in the (CEF) model are written as... 

Incorporation of viscosity variations in non-elastic generalized Newtonian flow models is based on using empirical rheological relationships such as the power law or Carreau equation, described in Chapter 1. In these relationships fluid viscosity is given as a function of shear rate and material parameters. Therefore in the application of finite element schemes to non-Newtonian flow, shear rate at the elemental level should be calculated and used to update the fluid viscosity. The shear rale is defined as the second invariant of the rate of deformation tensor as (Bird et at.., 1977)...

Non-dimensionalization of the stress is achieved via the components of the rate of deformation tensor which depend on the defined non-dimensional velocity and length variables. The selected scaling for the pressure is such that the pressure gradient balances the viscous shear stre.ss. After substitution of the non-dimensional variables into the equation of continuity it can be divided through by ieLr U). Note that in the following for simplicity of writing the broken over bar on tire non-dimensional variables is dropped.

Rate of Deformation Tensor For general three-dimensional flows, where all three velocity components may be important and may vaiy in all three coordinate directions, the concept of deformation previously introduced must be generahzed. The rate of deformation tensor Dy has nine components. In Cartesian coordinates. 

Vorticity The relative motion between two points in a fluid can be decomposed into three components rotation, dilatation, and deformation. The rate of deformation tensor has been defined. Dilatation refers to the volumetric expansion or compression of the fluid, and vanishes for incompressible flow. Rotation is described bv a tensor (Oy = dvj/dxj — dvj/dxi. The vector of vorticity given by one-half the... 

Since the deformation tensor F is nonsingular, it may be decomposed uniquely into a proper orthogonal tensor R and a positive-definite symmetric tensor U by the polar decomposition theorem... 

In the deformed state, the variables in the Hamiltonian change from ( R , r ) to ( R , Ar ). However, the distribution p( r ) of finding the topology r depends solely on how the material is made instantaneously at thermal equilibrium (i.e., at constant temperature T, pressure p, etc.) i.e., p( r ) does not depend on the external deformation tensor A. Then, the final answer for the free energy of the deformed network is...

The probabihty distribution/(u,s,f) for the local segment distribution is related to the contribution from the ensemble of segments at s to the total stress. It is calculated self-consistently from the survival probabihty function by letting the surviving tube segments be deformed by the total deformation tensor over their lifetimes, Eftt k...

From the viewpoint of the mechanics of continua, the stress-strain relationship of a perfectly elastic material is fully described in terms of the strain energy density function W. In fact, this relationship is expressed as a linear combination erf the partial derivatives of W with respect to the three invariants of deformation tensor, /j, /2, and /3. It is the fundamental task for a phenomenologic study of elastic material to determine W as a function of these three independent variables either from molecular theory or by experiment. The present paper has reviewed approaches to this task from biaxial extension experiment and the related data. The results obtained so far demonstrate that the kinetic theory of polymer network does not describe actual behavior of rubber vulcanizates. In particular, contrary to the kinetic theory, the observed derivative bW/bI2 does not vanish. 

To have Fel for inhomogeneous cases, we distinguish the Cartesian coordinates of the deformed gel, X = (X, X2, X3), representing the real spatial position, and those in the isotropic, relaxed state, jc0 = (x , x , x ), representing the original position before deformation. We define the deformation tensor,...
