Abstract

It is well known that the behaviour of all materials cannot be predicted by the classical Hookean elastic solids or Newtonian viscous liquids. Viscoelasticcoelastic effects, i.e. phenomena that cannot be explained on the basis of nonlinear purely-viscous or purely-elastic behaviour, can be important in polymer processing applications [1] [2] [3] [4]. Rheological non-linearities and geometrical singularities render analytical investigations difficult and lead to the numerical simulation of viscoelastic effects in complex geometries where simplifying assumptions cannot be made.
