Abstract

A specific case of the general “constrained-chain” strain-dependent integral viscoelastic model is evaluated with steady simple shear data, stress growth and relaxation data, and steady elongational viscosity data. The model is qualitatively correct and quantitatively reasonable in its predictions and, on balance, compares favourably with strain-dependent, strain-rate-dependent, and stress-dependent models from the current literature. Specific model comparisons are made to demonstrate the effect of the “constrained-chain” or finite extensibility feature of the model.

Additional information

This paper is dedicated to Alan H. Crossland whose “constrained-chain” theory of rubber elasticity provides the foundation for the work presented here. His untimely death at the age of 38 is a tragic loss for his family, for those of us who knew him as a colleague and for the field of polymer rheology which has lost a gifted researcher.
