PIMS / AMI / Mechanical Engineering Seminar
Topic
On the mechanics and mathematics of bodies described by implicit constitutive equations
Speakers
Details
After discussing the need for implicit constitutive relations to describe
the response of both non-linear fluids and solids, I will discuss
applications wherein they can be gainfully exploited. It will be shown
that such implicit relations can explain phenomena that have hitherto
defied adequate explanation. Moreover, such implicit constitutive
relations possess characteristics which are desirable both from the
point of view of qualitative and numerical analysis.
