• Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics 

      Das, Sanhita
      This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ...
    • Partial Slip Contacts in Linear Viscoelasticity 

      Dayalan, Satish Kumar (2017-10-05)
      This work analyzes partial slip contact problems in the theory of linear viscoelasticity using both the semi-analytical method and nite element method. Such problems arise in metal-polymer contacts in orthopedic implants ...
