Abstract
The full Doi–Edwards model constitutive equation derived by Palierne (Phys Rev Lett 93:136001-1–136001-4, (2004) is discussed in detail. The corresponding configurational probability equation is next solved for slow flows, and the solution is used to calculate the material constants: zero-shear viscosity and the normal stress differences.
