We consider a Kelvin-Voigt model for viscoelastic second-grade materials, where the elastic and the viscous stress tensor both satisfy frame indifference. Using a rigidity estimate by [Ciarlet-Mardare '15], existence of weak solutions is…
It is often said that well-entangled and fast-breaking living polymers (such as wormlike micelles) exhibit a single relaxation time in their reptation dynamics, but the full story is somewhat more complicated. Understanding departures from…
