Abstract

This study is concerned with the numerical modelling of thixotropic and viscoelastoplastic material systems through two approaches: (i) a new micellar thixotropic constitutive model for worm-like micellar systems that introduces viscoelasticity into the network-structure construction/destruction kin...
