On the modelling of highly elastic flows of amorphous thermoplastics

Two approaches to the kinematic structuring of constitutive models for highly elastic flows of polymer melts have been examined systematically, assuming either: (1) additivity of elastic and viscous velocity gradients or (2) multiplicability of elastic and viscous deformation gradients. A series of...
