Differential Equations and Continuum Mechanics
Abstract
Recent advances in materials science and synthetic chemistry have led to the development and design of new classes of polymeric materials with desirable and beneficial properties. These are of enormous importance in many industrial and military situations. Most of these materials have features not well understood scientifically and not explainable with current standard equations of motion. The authors looked at several classes of these polymers with the intent of developing the nonlinear models for the study of transport by and through them. The models are then applied to specific new technological problems necessitating the development of new asymptotic, perturbation and numerical techniques for their solutions.
