HAC Sánchez, MR Jovanović, S Kumar… - Journal of Non …, 2022‏ - Elsevier
The Oldroyd-B model has been used extensively to predict a host of instabilities in shearing
flows of viscoelastic fluids, often realized experimentally using polymer solutions. The …

Perspectives on shear banding in complex fluids

PD Olmsted - Rheologica Acta, 2008‏ - Springer
In this review, I present an idiosyncratic view of the current state of shear banding in complex
fluids. Particular attention is paid to some of the outstanding issues and questions facing the …

Internal length gradient (ILG) material mechanics across scales and disciplines
