Accounting for the elastic properties of a non-Newtonian material under its viscosimetric flow

Abstract

This paper considers the deformation and viscoplastic flow of a non-Newtonian material enclosed between coaxial rigid cylindrical surfaces, each of which performs a rotation followed by a stop and a rotation in the opposite direction. The problem is solved using the model of large elastoviscoplastic deformations, in contrast to the classical solutions obtained using the model of a rigid viscoplastic body. The parameters of the viscosimetric process are calculated in both the region of viscoplastic flow developed and the region of elastic deformation.
