Having defined strain tensors in convected coordinates, we now describe the rate-of-strain (or rate-of-deformation) tensor. This may be obtained by taking the derivative of a strain tensor with time, with the convected coordinates held constant. Such a derivative is commonly referred to as the material derivative, which may be considered as the time rate of change as seen by an observer in a convected coordinate system. Using the notation D/Dr for the substantial (material) time derivative, we have from Eq. (2.86)... 

Sometimes the notation (v V) is used for what is represented in Cartesian components by the operator Vidfdxi. Note that the operators defined in (4.5) and (4.6) may be applied to a scalar or vector quantity. Details on the physical interpretation of the material time derivative can be found in Aris [4, pp.77-79] where, in particular, it is shown that the velocity is given by v = x. 

The rate is defined as an intensive variable, and the definition is independent of any partieular reaetant or produet speeies. Beeause the reaetion rate ehanges with time, we ean use the time derivative to express the instantaneous rate of reaetion sinee it is influeneed by the eomposition and temperature (i.e., the energy of the material). Thus,... 

Note that since there are two independent variables of both length and time, the defining equation is written in terms of the partial differentials, dC/dt and dC/dZ, whereas at steady state only one independent variable, length, is involved and the ordinary derivative function is used. In reality the above diffusion equation results from a combination of an unsteady-state material balance, based on a small differential element of solid length dZ, combined with Fichs Law of diffusion. 

In the various formulations of the mathematical theory of linear viscoelasticity, one should differentiate clearly the measurable and non-measurable fimctions, especially when it comes to modelling apart from the material functions quoted above, one may also define non measurable viscoelastic functions which Eu-e pure mathematical objects, such as the distribution of relaxation times, the distribution of retardation times, and tiie memory function. These mathematical tools may prove to be useful in some situations for example, a discrete distribution of relaxation times is easy to handle numerically when working with constitutive equations of the difierential type, but one has to keep in mind that the relaxation times derived numerically by optimization methods have no direct physical meaning. Furthermore, the use of the distribution of relaxation times is useless and costs precision when one wishes simply to go back and forth from the time domain to the frequency domain. This warning is important, given the large use (and sometimes overuse) of these distribution functions. 

The volume integral on the RHS is defined over a control volume V fixed in space, which coincides with the moving material volume V(t) at the considered instant, t, in time. Similarly, the fixed control surface A coincides at time t with the closed surface A(t) bounding the material volume V(t). In the surface integral, n denotes the unit outward normal to the surface A t) at time t, and V is the material velocity of points of the boundary A t). The first term on the RHS of (1.8) is the partial time derivative of the volume integral. The boundary integral represents the flux of the scalar quantity / across the fixed boundary of the control volume V. 

The upper-convected time derivative is a time derivative in a special coordinate system whose base coordinate vectors stretch and rotate with material lines. With this definition of the upper-convected time derivative, stresses are produced only when material elements are deformed mere rotation produces no stress (see Section 1.4). Because of the way it is defined, the upper-convected time (teriva-tive of the Finger tensor is identically zero (see eqs. 2.2.3S and 1.4.13) ... 

Kinds oi Inputs Since a tracer material balance is represented by a linear differential equation, the response to anv one kind of input is derivable from some other known input, either analytically or numerically. Although in practice some arbitrary variation of input concentration with time may be employed, five mathematically simple input signals supply most needs. Impulse and step are defined in the Glossaiy (Table 23-3). Square pulse is changed at time a, kept constant for an interval, then reduced to the original value. Ramp is changed at a constant rate for a period of interest. A sinusoid is a signal that varies sinusoidally with time. Sinusoidal concentrations are not easy to achieve, but such variations of flow rate and temperature are treated in the vast literature of automatic control and may have potential in tracer studies. 

The properties required of a material in order for it to support a stable shock wave were listed and discussed. Rarefaction, or release waves were defined and their behavior was described. The useful tool of plotting shocks, rarefactions, and boundaries in the time-distance plane (the x-t diagram) was introduced. The Lagrangian coordinate system was defined and contrasted to the more familiar Eulerian coordinate system. The Lagrangian system was then used to derive conservation equations for continuous flow in one dimension. 

Reactions 2 and 3 regulate the balance of O and O3, but do not materially affect the O3 concentration. Any ozone destroyed in the photolysis step (3) is quickly reformed in reaction 2. The amount of ozone present results from a balance between reaction 1, which generates the O atoms that rapidly form ozone, and reaction 4, which eliminates an oxygen atom and an ozone molecule. Under conditions of constant sunlight, which implies constant /i and /s, the concentrations of O and O3 remain constant with time and are said to correspond to the steady state. Under steady-state conditions the concentrations of O and O3 are defined by the equations d[0]/df = 0 and d[03]/df = 0. Deriving the rate expressions for reactions 1-i and applying the steady-state condition results in the equations given below that can be solved for [O] and [O3]. 

We can get a first approximation of the physical nature of a material from its response time. For a Maxwell element, the relaxation time is the time required for the stress in a stress-strain experiment to decay to 1/e or 0.37 of its initial value. A material with a low relaxation time flows easily so it shows relatively rapid stress decay. Thus, whether a viscoelastic material behaves as a solid or fluid is indicated by its response time and the experimental timescale or observation time. This observation was first made by Marcus Reiner who defined the ratio of the material response time to the experimental timescale as the Deborah Number, Dn-Presumably the name was derived by Reiner from the Biblical quote in Judges 5, Song of Deborah, where it says The mountains flowed before the Lord. ...
