A Novel Constitutive Equation for Viscoelastic-Thixotropic Fluids and its Application in the Characterization of Blood Hysteresis Loop

1 INTRODUCTIONIt is well known that viscoelasticity and thixotropy of fluids are often investigated by measuringhysteresis loops under transient conditions.For some fluids(such as blood),it has been provedthat,an“8”shaped hysteresis loop may be obtained if triangular steps of shear rate wereapplied on it(Fig.l).This kind of hysteresis loop is composed of a viscoelastic loop and athixotropic loop.The viscoelastic and thixotropic properties are unified in the formation ofthe hysteresis loop.How to describe the formation of this complex hysteresis loop and how

BLOW-UP OF SOLUTION FOR A VISCOELASTIC WAVE EQUATION WITH DELAY

In this paper, we consider the following viscoelastic wave equation with delay|u_t|~ρu_(tt)-△u-△u_(tt)+∫_0~t g(t-8)△u(8)d8 + μ_1 u_t(x,t) + μ_2 u_t(x,t-τ) = b|u|^(p-2) u in a bounded domain. Under appropriate conditions on μ1, μ2, the kernel function g, the nonlinear source and the initial data, there are solutions that blow up in finite time.

GENERAL DECAY FOR A VISCOELASTIC EQUATION OF VARIABLE COEFFICIENTS WITH A TIME-VARYING DELAY IN THE BOUNDARY FEEDBACK AND ACOUSTIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

A variable coefficient viscoelastic equation with a time-varying delay in the boundary feedback and acoustic boundary conditions and nonlinear source term is considered.Under suitable assumptions, general decay results of the energy are established via suitable Lyapunov functionals and some properties of the convex functions. Our result is obtained without imposing any restrictive growth assumption on the damping term and the elements of the matrix A and the kernel function g.

We prove that, for a class of kernels 9 which is singular at zero, the exponential decay rate of the solution energy. The result is obtained by introducing an appropriate Lyapounov functional and using energy method similar to the work of Tatar in 2009. This work improves earlier results.

A viscoelastic equation with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping and nonlinear boundary/interior sources is considered in a bounded domain. Under appropriate assumptions ira- posed on the source and the damping, we establish uniform decay rate of the solution energy in terms of the behavior of the nonlinear feedback and the relaxation function, without setting any restrictive growth assumptions on the damping at the origin and weakening the usual assumptions on the relaxation function.

Stability condition of finite difference solution for viscoelastic wave equations

The stability problem is a very important aspect in seismic wave numerical modeling. Based on the theory of seismic waves and constitutive equations of viscoelastic models, the stability problems of finite difference scheme for Kelvin- Voigt and Maxwell models with rectangular grids are analyzed. Expressions of stability conditions with arbitrary spatial accuracies for two viscoelastic models are derived. With approximation of quality factor Q≥5, simplified expressions are developed and some numerical models are given to verify the validity of the corresponding theoretical results. Then this paper summarizes the influences of seismic wave velocity, frequency, size of grid and difference coefficients, as well as quality factor on stability condition. Finally the prerequisite conditions of the simplified stability equations are given with error analysis.

Approximate Controllability of Second-Order Neutral Stochastic Differential Equations with Infinite Delay and Poisson Jumps

The modelling of risky asset by stochastic processes with continuous paths, based on Brow- nian motions, suffers from several defects. First, the path continuity assumption does not seem reason- able in view of the possibility of sudden price variations （jumps） resulting of market crashes. A solution is to use stochastic processes with jumps, that will account for sudden variations of the asset prices. On the other hand, such jump models are generally based on the Poisson random measure. Many popular economic and financial models described by stochastic differential equations with Poisson jumps. This paper deals with the approximate controllability of a class of second-order neutral stochastic differential equations with infinite delay and Poisson jumps. By using the cosine family of operators, stochastic analysis techniques, a new set of sufficient conditions are derived for the approximate controllability of the above control system. An example is provided to illustrate the obtained theory.

This study develops an optimized finite difference iterative （OFDI） scheme for the two-dimensional （2D） viscoelastic wave equation. The OFDI scheme is obtained using a proper orthogonal decomposition （POD） method. It has sufficiently high accuracy with very few unknowns for the 2D viscoelastic wave equation. Existence, stability, and convergence of the OFDI solutions are analyzed. Numerical simulations verify efficiency and feasibility of the proposed scheme.

An improved convolution perfectly matched layer for elastic second-order wave equation

A convolution perfectly matched layer(CPML)can efficiently absorb boundary reflection in numerical simulation.However,the CPML is suitable for the first-order elastic wave equation and is difficult to apply directly to the second-order elastic wave equation.In view of this,based on the first-order CPML absorbing boundary condition,we propose a new CPML(NCPML)boundary which can be directly applied to the second-order wave equation.We first systematically extend the first-order CPML technique into second-order wave equations,neglecting the space-varying characteristics of the partial damping coefficient in the complex-frequency domain,avoiding the generation of convolution in the time domain.We then transform the technique back to the time domain through the inverse Fourier transform.Numerical simulation indicates that the space-varying characteristics of the attenuation factor have little influence on the absorption effect and increase the memory at the same time.A number of numerical examples show that the NCPML proposed in this study is effective in simulating elastic wave propagation,and this algorithm is more efficient and requires less memory allocation than the conventional PML absorbing boundary.

By using the differenl2al quadrature method with only a few grid points, the high-accurate numerical results were obtained.

In this article,some high-order local discontinuous Galerkin(LDG)schemes based on some second-order θ approximation formulas in time are presented to solve a two-dimen-sional nonlinear fractional diffusion equation.The unconditional stability of the LDG scheme is proved,and an a priori error estimate with O(h^(k+1)+At^(2))is derived,where k≥0 denotes the index of the basis function.Extensive numerical results with Q^(k)(k=0,1,2,3)elements are provided to confirm our theoretical results,which also show that the second-order convergence rate in time is not impacted by the changed parameter θ.

CONSTITUTIVE EQUATION OF CO-ROTATIONAL DERIVATIVE TYPE FOR ANISOTROPIC-VISCOELASTIC FLUID

A constitutive equation theory of Oldroyd fluid B type,i.e.the co-rotational derivative type,is developed for the anisotropic-viscoelastic fluid of liquid crystalline(LC)polymer.Analyzing the influence of the orientational motion on the material behavior and neglecting the influence,the constitutive equation is applied to a simple case for the hydrodynamic motion when the orientational contribution is neglected in it and the anisotropic relaxation,retardation times and anisotropic viscosi- ties are introduced to describe the macroscopic behavior of the anisotropic LC polymer fluid.Using the equation for the shear flow of LC polymer fluid,the analytical expressions of the apparent viscosity and the normal stress differences are given which are in a good agreement with the experimental results of Baek et al.For the fiber spinning flow of the fluid,the analytical expression of the extensional viscosity is given.
