Nonlinear elastic models are widely used to describe the elastic response of crystalline solids, for example, the well-known Cauchy-Born model. While the Cauchy-Born model only depends on the strain, effects of higher order strain gradients…

We study a fully discrete finite element approximation of a model for unsteady flows of rate-type viscoelastic fluids with stress diffusion in two and three dimensions. The model consists of the incompressible Navier--Stokes equation for…
In a previous paper \cite{Itskov-MoSM} we presented a hyperelastic isotropic material model whose stress-strain response is nonlinear even at infinitesimal deformations and cannot thus be linearized. As a result values of Poisson's ratio…
