Includes bibliographical references (p. 291-303). Various models of viscoelasticity exist based on continuum mechanics. In this work a statistical mechanical approach is taken to derive a new isotropic, hyperelastic, viscoelastic, incompressible constitutive equation for polymers. The result has been achieved by generating a novel physics for the microscopic behaviour of polymers. A vocabulary has been created to facilitate the physics. A new differential equation describing polymer behaviour is derived based on the mathematical description of the physics. 2014-12-26T14:17:21Z 2014-12-26T14:17:21Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10126 eng application/pdf Department of Human Biology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
