Conformational and mechanical properties at high strain rates
Abstract
Several powerful means of studying steady flows far from equilibrium were developed. Gauss' Principle (minimizing the forces of constraint) was found to be useful for most problems, but leads to (small, 10%) errors when applied to heat flow simulations. Discovered were corresponding-states relations for the rate-dependent viscosity and flux-dependent heat conductivity which are useful in making macroscopic constitutive-equation estimates.
