Newtonian approach

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... 

The Newtonian approach gives the equation of motion as follows ... 

The externaiiy appiied periodic force has a frequency lu, which can vary independentiy of the system parameters. The motion equation for this system may be obtained by any of the previousiy stated methods. The Newtonian approach wiii be used here because of its conceptuai simpiicity. The freebody diagram of the mass m is shown in Figure 5-ii. 

Nowadays the position is changing because, as ever increasing demands are being put on materials and moulding machines it is becoming essential to be able to make reliable quantitative predictions about performance. In Chapter 4 it was shown that a simple Newtonian approach gives a useful first approximation to many of the processes but unfortunately the assumption of constant viscosity can lead to serious errors in some cases. For this reason a more detailed analysis using a Non-Newtonian model is often necessary and this will now be illustrated. 

Newtonian Approach Let Nb(t) and Nyj(t) represent the number of black and white balls at time t, respectively. Let Tib(t) and n (f) be the number of black and white balls having a marked site directly ahead of them at time t. The Newtonian equations of motion are then given by... 

You can verify in just a few lines that this approach defines the same equations of motion that we defined from the Newtonian approach above. 

Non-Newtonian behavior is most often pronounced at intermediate shear rates. At extraordinarily high or low shear rates many non-Newtonians approach Newtonian behavior. 

The last term corresponds to the constant of integration asociated to the total energy of the sphere (and varies as a2). Its value depends on the initial conditions. Furthermore, it expresses a link between the geometry and the material content of the Universe, which cannot be specified in the Newtonian approach we had and can be justified only within the framework of GR. The form of the above equation is independent of the radius a of the sphere and we shall therefore admit that the equation still holds for the quantity li(t), the constant K being then the constant k which is involved in the Robertson-Walker metric element ... 

Boerhaave is generally known as the first to have introduced Newtonianism at Leiden University. Boerhaave himself referred often to Newton as the man in whom nature has revealed the acme of human perspicacity. Moreover, contemporaries praised Boerhaave s Newtonian approach to nature. Nevertheless historians of science are divided over the issue how many Newtonian ideas Boerhaave adopted. Some historians have argued that Boerhaave s ideas were mainly Newtonian in outlook, others have suggested that Boerhaave tried to make his system commensurate with Newton s ideas but that many of Boerhaave s thoughts surpassed Newton s mechanistic system. In the... 

It is possible to formulate the classical laws of motion in several ways. Newton s equations are taught in every basic course of classical mechanics. However, especially in the presence of constraint forces, the equations of motion can often be presented in a simpler form by using either Lagrangian or Hamiltonian formalism. In short, in the Newtonian approach, an /V-point particle system is described by specifying the position xa = xa(t) of each particle a as a function of time. The positions are found by solving the equations of motion,... 

The Newton-Euler (Newtonian) approach involves the derivation of the equations of motion for a dynamic system using the Newton-Euler equations, which depend upon vector quantities and accelerations. This dependence, along with complex geometries, may promote derivations for the equations of motion that are timely and mathematically complex. Furthermore, the presence of several degrees of freedom within the dynamic system will only add to the complexity of the derivations and final solutions. 

The energy method approach uses Lagrange s equation (and/or Hamilton s principle, if appropriate) and differs from die newtonian approach by the dependence upon scalar quantities and velocities. This approach is particularly useful if the dynamic system has several degrees of freedom and the forces experienced by the system are derived from potential functions. In summary, the energy method approach often simplifies the derivation of the equations of motion for complex multibody systems involving several degrees of freedom as seen in human biodynamics. 

Since the Lagrangian q>proach yields scalar equations, it is seen as an advantage over a Newtonian approach. Only the velocity vector v, not the acceleration, of each body is required and any coordinate system orientation desired may be chosen. This is a result of the kinetic energy expressed in terms of a scalar quantity as demonstrated in Eq. (7.4). 

For certain problems where constraint forces are considered, a Newtonian approach, or the aj li-cation of both techniques, may be necessary. The following sections will present some applications of Lagrange s equation as qiplicable to human anatmnical biodynamics. Other mechanically based examples are easily found within the cited literature (Baruh, 19W Moon, 1998 Wells, 1967). 

Once again, Eqs. (7.33) and (7.34) are the same equations of motion obtained by the Newtonian approach. 

Table 7.4 is the kinematics table for the single elastic body pendulum shown in Fig. 7.3. The absolute velocity of the center of mass G is required to complete the Lagrangian approach, and the Newtonian approach utilizes die absolute acceleration of point <3 Eq. (7.86), in F = mao, for problems of constant mass. 

The multivariate Newtonian approach is an extension of the single variable Newtonian convergence procedure. The change in the energy balance is... 

The Fan-Tsuchiya equation with constant values of Pm estimated from Eq. (12) predicts reasonably well the general trend of bubble rise velocity variation in liquid-solid suspensions as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. However, a detailed match between the experimental results and predictions appears to be difficult to attain by assigning a constant value of p for each condition. A more elaborate analysis is required to account for the effect of bubble size on interactions of the bubble with the surrounding medium (non-Newtonian approach) or with individual particles (heterogeneous approach). 

The compensation for the effects of joint forces in the evaluation of effective mass is based upon whether an energy or a Newtonian approach is followed. Using an energy... 

The belief that the elastic properties of gases could be accounted for by supposing that gas particles were stationary and subject of mutually repulsive forces was wholly Newtonian approach and it was readily acknowledged by most of the 18 and 19 Century writers. It was related to the Principia where Newton had shown how Boyle s Law could be predicted on such a basis if it was assumed that the repulsive force between any two adjacent particles of gas expanding or contracting isothermally was inversely proportional to the distance between them. 

A purely viscous non-Newtonian approach was followed by Han and Park (1975b). They used the power-law model and the energy equation, assuming that the effects of crystallization were insignificant. The agreement of this model with experimental data in terms of the bubble radius and thickness as a function of the axial distance for LDPE and HDPE was reported to be reasonable. In terms of viscoelastic models, Luo and Tanner (1985) considered the Leonov model, and Cain and Denn (1988) considered the upper convected Maxwell and Marrucci models in nonisothermal cases of film blowing. In some of the cases analyzed, multiple steady-state solutions were present (see also Problem 9C.2).
